/* IMPORTANT
 *  When initializing the EnumData struct, you cannot use _(...) to translate strings.
 * Instead, one must use N_(...) and do the translation every time the string is retreived.
 *
 * Note that get_id_from_key and get_id_from_label return 0 if it cannot find an entry for that key string
 * Note that get_label and get_key return an empty string when the requested id is not in the list.
