grs

public java.lang.String grs(java.lang.String key)

In Jacquard 1.8 I had a one arg grs(); this is here for backwards compatibility only. I still haven't fully sussed the best way to do i18n, and this way only does server-side i18n which definitely isn't good enough. But since I published the API I'd better support it.
