Where is the "lang" mod?

I've been reading the TDN entry about the new localization toolkit for 1.4. Looks interesting and more robust than the script-only approach we've been using here. After reading about it, I found none of the functions there exist, and that they all reside in a "lang" mod, that is nowhere to be found.
Right now I'm struggling with the LangTable class trying to get it to work directly, but I the GUI always fail to find the language table mod in getModLangTable, no matter what the heck I type in the GUI control's langTableMod field. I tried both my mod name, and the langTable name, and noone work.
It seems to append "I18N::" before the langTableMod text and tries to read that as a variable (?). I tried setting that variable value in script to the langTable ID, and it just crashed.
Is the localization stuff broken or incomplete?

Good thing the lang mode exists somewhere, I was about to move our localization system to 1.4. :)

Heh, I understand that sort of thing. Once we forgot to include some files when building a milestone for the Nth time past 3 AM and it caused all sorts of trouble.Good thing the lang mode exists somewhere, I was about to move our localization system to 1.4. :)

Should be in 1.4.1. MattF is the main guy on 1.4.1 (I'm focusing on TSE/TDN), so will let him note here what he plans to do. :)

I've found my original dev copy of the script side of the localization and the localized starter.fps. If you drop me a mail at fos2k4 at gmail.com I'll send you a copy. The localization code was done first so it will be based on some version of TGE around 1.4 RC1, but a few minutes with a decent merge tool and you shouldnt have any problems getting it running.
