Squeak has magic! You didn't know? ;)

Sad to say but the reality is not so magic causing that somebody has to
type the translation to French of 'I''m ungry'.  Basically each language
has a dictionary of translated phrases.  (For more details you can see
the hierarchy of class Language) and we have a tool for translators.

Cheers,
