 *
 * This is primarily needed to provide translation for configuration variables
 * 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
 * did not happen yet and thus they cannot rely on translated variables.
