Changing languages on the fly
.............................

If your program needs to support many languages at the same time, you
may want to create multiple translation instances and then switch
between them explicitly, like so:

     import gettext
     
     lang1 = gettext.translation(languages=['en'])
     lang2 = gettext.translation(languages=['fr'])
     lang3 = gettext.translation(languages=['de'])
     
     # start by using language1
     lang1.install()
     
     # ... time goes by, user selects language 2
     lang2.install()
     
     # ... more time goes by, user selects language 3
     lang3.install()
