6'''Pseudotranslation support.  Our pseudotranslations are based on the
7P-language, which is a simple vowel-extending language.  Examples of P:
8  - "hello" becomes "hepellopo"
9  - "howdie" becomes "hopowdiepie"
10  - "because" becomes "bepecaupause" (but in our implementation we don't
11    handle the silent e at the end so it actually would return "bepecaupausepe"
12
13The P-language has the excellent quality of increasing the length of text
14by around 30-50% which is great for pseudotranslations, to stress test any
15GUI layouts etc.
16
17To make the pseudotranslations more obviously "not a translation" and to make
18them exercise any code that deals with encodings, we also transform all English
19vowels into equivalent vowels with diacriticals on them (rings, acutes,
20diaresis, and circumflex), and we write the "p" in the P-language as a Hebrew
21character Qof.  It looks sort of like a latin character "p" but it is outside
22the latin-1 character set which will stress character encoding bugs.
