Well the new settings system already supports localizable descriptions per section/category/setting. Just the GUI integration is awful and needs improvement.
EDIT: And obviously someone has to write the descriptions.

Wiki has a nearly complete list of settings descriptions:

so we need to reserve some language string range for that.
help="" is where they string id needs to be filled in?
I can do a WIP pr for that this weekend with adding the help strings.
@nedscott
we should at least try to keep the strings in sync with the wiki then. First copying current wiki descriptions to the .po file and if anything must change reflect that in the wiki too.

Yup just add the appropriate string ID into the help="<stringid>" attribute of a <setting> and it will automatically be used by the GUI when pressing the "I" button. Like I said the GUI integration could do with some love. Either doing it the same way as in OE or at least improving the current integration which requires a button press.

aye, we could even run an automated python script to update the wiki from the .po file.

I am about 1/3 of adding the descriptions now so should be finished tomorrow for the mayor part. Of course some will be missing but they can be added later on.
Would be nice if Jezz_X or ronie could take a look at improving the description window.

Would it be possible to add a line or put "Description:" for the description box? Right now it blends in with the other settings text a bit too much. Needs more separation.

this could also be handled visually e.g. by adding a little info icon or something
