### Operations on translated strings
The output of `minetest.translate` is a string, with escape sequences adding additional information to that string
so that it can be translated on the different clients. In particular, you can't expect operations like string.length
to work on them like you would expect them to, or string.gsub to work in the expected manner. However, string
concatenation will still work as expected (note that you should only use this for things like formspecs; do not
translate sentences by breaking them into parts; arguments should be used instead), and operations such as
`minetest.colorize` which are only concatenation under the hood as well.
### Translation file format
