- conjunction with wxLocale. In the latter case, you should initialize

- need to create a wxTranslations object and Set() it manually.

-
- Unlike wxLocale, wxTranslations' primary mean of identifying language
- is by its "canonical name", i.e. ISO 639 code, possibly combined with
- ISO 3166 country code and additional modifiers (examples include
- "fr", "en_GB" or "ca@valencia"; see wxLocale::GetCanonicalName() for
