### Command-line options
Documentation for the command line options in the output of `--help` should be translated as well.
Make sure that default values do not end up in the string, but use string formatting like `strprintf(_("Threshold for disconnecting misbehaving peers (default: %u)"), 100)`. Putting default values in strings has led to accidental translations in the past, and forces the string to be retranslated every time the value changes.
Do not translate messages that are only shown to developers, such as those that only appear when `--help-debug` is used.
