+Server side translations
+------------------------
 
+On some specific cases, server translation could be useful. For example, filter
+a list on labels and send results to client. A method is supplied to achieve
+that:
 
+`minetest.get_translated_string(lang_code, string)`: Translates `string` using
+translations for `lang_code` language. It gives the same result as if the string
+was translated by the client.
+
+The `lang_code` to use for a given player can be retrieved from
+the table returned by `minetest.get_player_information(name)`.
+
+IMPORTANT: This functionality should only be used for sorting, filtering or similar purposes.
+You do not need to use this to get translated strings to show up on the client.
