/**
* Currently, the Peertube plugin system assumes that settings strings
* are localized in english, and will be translated on front-end.
* This system make it hard to have complex strings (with html, newlines, ...).
* See https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/4523
*
* Waiting for a better solution, we implemented a custom solution:
* - We are using keys to identify strings
* - the `loc` function gets the english segment for the key
* - the build-languages.js script builds all needed files.
* @param key The key to translate
