Hi Baoquan,
This variable is only be used in this file, for it is defined as static.
Till now, I think both global and local variable are fine, got the same
thing.
But I believe global is better, because if other functions want to know
whether translation is enabled, this global variable is a good choice.
Thanks
Zhenhua
