INTRODUCTION
------------

The Variable translation module, part of the Internationalization (https://www.drupal.org/project/i18n) package, allows the user to translate text and settings that are stored in Drupal as variables. These variables include text such as 'site name' and 'site slogan', as well as settings like 'Default front page' and 'Default 404 page'.
