Cockpit provides a
    gettext() like
    API for easy translation of strings.
The current locale language code. This is set based on the
      cockpit.locale() data loaded.
cockpit.locale(po)
Load locale information for a given po data. The data should
      be JSON data in the po2json
      format. The data will be loaded globally. If po data has already been
      loaded, then this will extend that loaded data with additional strings. Any identical
      translations strings will be replaced with the new strings. A null argument
      clears all the locale information previously loaded.
Various methods such as
      cockpit.gettext() make use
      of the loaded data.
translated = cockpit.gettext([context], string)
var _ = cockpit.gettext
var C_ = cockpit.gettext
translated = _("string")
translated = C_("context", "string")
Lookup string for translation in the loaded locale data. The translated string will
      be returned, or string will be returned if no such translated string is
      present. The context argument is an optional string used to qualify the
      string.
This function can be assigned to a variable called _ (underscore) which
      will make your code work with the typical _("string") syntax.
var N_ = cockpit.noop var NC_ = cockpit.noop
A noop function suitable for assigning to N_ or NC_ so that
      gettext scanners will be able to find translatable strings. More specifically this function
      returns its last argument.
translated = cockpit.ngettext([context], string1, stringN, number)
Lookup a string appropriate for a pluralization form of the number.
      Various languages have complex pluralization forms that go far between the singular
      and plural forms speakers of English are familiar with. If no such translated
      string is found then either one of string1 or stringN is
      returned according to simple pluralization rules.
The context argument is an optional string used to qualify the string.
cockpit.translate() cockpit.translate(element, ...) cockpit.translate(selection)
The document will be scanned for translate tags and they will be translated according
      to the strings in loaded locale data. One or more element arguments may be specified.
      These are DOM elements for specific parts of the document to be translated. If no element
      is specified then the entire document is translated.
If an array or array-like object is passed as a selection then all DOM elements
      in the array will be treated as parts of the document to be translated.
