# Translators: this is a structure to assist in the generation of
# spoken military-style spelling.  For example, 'abc' becomes 'alpha
# bravo charlie'.
#
# It is a simple structure that consists of pairs of
#
# letter : word(s)
#
# where the letter and word(s) are separate by colons and each
# pair is separated by commas.  For example, we see:
#
# a : alpha, b : bravo, c : charlie,
#
# And so on.  The complete set should consist of all the letters from
# the alphabet for your language paired with the common
# military/phonetic word(s) used to describe that letter.
#
# The Wikipedia entry
# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_phonetic_alphabet has a few
# interesting tidbits about local conventions in the sections
# "Additions in German, Danish and Norwegian" and "Variants".
