-------------
-If you choose to install widelands, you'll probably want to take care of proper
-l10n setup. Widelands will normally look for it's locale definitions in
-<install_prefix>/<localedir> (see "scons -h"). To change this setting, use a
-commandline like "scons localedir=foo/bar/baz" (relative to install_prefix)
-or "scons localedir=/foo/bar/baz" (absolute path). If you aren't using scons,
-set INSTALL_LOCALEDIR in src/config.h before starting the compile.
-
-Unless you are doing a release build, you will have to manually call
-"scons locale" to create the message catalogs. Release builds do this by default.
-
-Be aware that our installer does not yet put the files in the correct location.
-You will have to move/copy them yourself!
