* in the proper bootstrap phase. Variables are user-defined strings and
* therefore should not be translated via t(), since the source string can
* change without notice and any previous translation would be lost. Moreover,
* since variables can be used in the bootstrap phase, we need a bootstrap hook
* to provide a translation early enough to avoid misalignments between code
* using the original values and code using the translated values. However
* modules implementing hook_boot() should be aware that language initialization
