The Pascal compiler has special support for the @code{ResourceString} data
type.  It generates a @code{.rst} file.  This is then converted to a
@code{.pot} file by use of @code{xgettext} or @code{rstconv}.  At runtime,
a @code{.mo} file corresponding to translations of this @code{.pot} file
can be loaded using the @code{TranslateResourceStrings} function in the
@code{gettext} unit.

An example is available in the @file{examples} directory: @code{hello-pascal}.
