/**
 * Class that handles all text related functions. You can define a language
 *  file in lang/english.txt, in the same format as OpenTTD does, including
 *  tags like {BLACK}, {STRING1} etc. The name given to this string is made
 *  available to you in ScriptText, for example: ScriptText.STR_NEWS, if your
 *  english.txt contains: STR_NEWS    :{BLACK}Welcome {COMPANY}!
 *
 * In translation files like lang/dutch.txt you can then translate such
 *  strings, like: STR_NEWS    :{BLACK}Hallo {COMPANY}!
 * When the user has the dutch language selected, it will automatically use
 *  the translated string when available. The fallback language is always
 *  the english language.
 *
 * If you use parameters in your strings, you will have to define those
 *  parameters, for example like this:
 * \code local text = ScriptText(ScriptText.STR_NEWS);
 * text.AddParam(1); \endcode
 * This will set the {COMPANY} to the name of Company 1. Alternatively you
 *  can directly give those arguments to the ScriptText constructor, like this:
 * \code local text = ScriptText(ScriptText.STR_NEWS, 1); \endcode
