Description
The Text based interfaces currently output sentences in the English language.
Due to the scope of the project, other languages can be considered.
Feature description
Messages sent to the Text based interfaces are not mostly standardized and defined in each panel.
The code for these interfaces is also increasing the level of commonalities, and additional work is already in place to remote all redundant code. The result is that these messages are handled at a common place before being sent to each endpoint.
This enables the possibility of supporting multiple languages.
Standard gettext can probably be used, but as some strings are dynamic, the actual approach must be evaluated.

Research direction
Start by locating the common message-handling code used before messages are sent to each text-based interface, and review the work removing redundant code. Evaluate how gettext could handle dynamic strings and define which additional languages are supported. Done means messages are consistently localized across the relevant endpoints.
