#' Establish and Manage Translation Strings
#'
#' This is documentation for internal functions for translation. If you want a
#' guide to providing translations, please read `vignette("translations",
#' package = "sandpaper")`
#'
#' @details A page generated from {sandpaper} is made up of user-provided
#'   content wrapped into templated HTML provided by {varnish}. Since users can
#'   provide content in any human language that can be processed by computer,
#'   {sandpaper} must have a method to match the template content to the
#'   language of the content. These translations are added to the source of
#'   {sandpaper} by volunteers using the {potools} package.
#'
#'   Template content strings are stored in the `$translations` element of the
#'   `these` global environment variable, which is generated by the
#'   `establish_translation_vars()` function, which is run every time
#'   {sandpaper} is loaded. The `$translations` element consists of three
#'   lists:
#'
#'    - `varnish`: a list of translated strings that are passed directly
#'      to {varnish}
#'    - `computed`: a list of translated strings that are incorporated into
#'      the HTML content before it is passed to {varnish}.
#'    - `src`: a source list of the above two lists that serves as the source
#'      of the translations.
#'
#'   Whenever a lesson is built, the function `set_language()` will read the
#'   `lang` item from the `config.yaml` and apply translations to
#'   `these$translations$varnish` and `these$translations$computed` before the
#'   lesson is generated or updated.

#'  2. link templating indicated by `<(text to wrap)>` where we replace the
