+RNA Manual Reference Mapping Updater
+
+This script generates a file that maps RNA strings to online URL's
+for the context menu documentation access.
+
+This script either downloads a sphinx requirement file from the manual
+or optionally can take a path to the file using `--input`.
+
+To make international, we made a script,
+pointing the manuals to the proper language,
+specified in the 'User Preferences Window' by the users.
+Some Languages have their manual page, using a prefix or
+being preceded by their respective reference, for example:
+
+manual/ --> manual/ru/
+
+The table in the script, contains all of the languages we have in the
+Blender manual website, for those other languages that still
+does not have a team of translators,
+and/or don't have a manual for their languages we commented the lines below,
+you should add them to the language table when they have a proper manual,
+or added to the Blender UI translation table.
