[support] t() with non-english string

[John Fletcher]

Hi Earnie,

Have you ever done this? I had a look at the API page and it indicated to me
that translation will only run for non-English languages.  In particular
this bit of code:

elseif (function_exists('locale') && $langcode != 'en') {
  $string = locale($string, $langcode);
}

Also if I go to admin/build/translate/search, anything I find is not
available to be translated into English; English is marked as the "built-in
language".

Regards,
John

See http://api.drupal.org/api/function/t

t('siempre te esperamos');
and a translator translates to 'you are welcome' for the English version.
