[ros-general] "My Computer" and co.

[Tobias Ussing]

In the translation team we are working on a XML document which will hold the 
language. I see no reason that a standard XML document can't be 
expanded/changed with a secondary external XML document, which would be 
contained in the theme. Thus any and all occurences of "This Computer" or "My 
Computer" would only be defined once(unless some programmer have hardcodded 
into his program).

So on boot, load language XML document. Apply theme(overwrite settings).

Sincerly
