version: 1.2.0
hello-msg: "Hi! Rebolers!"

my-cat: make-catalog "app-name"
if app-version > my-cat/version
[
; Now we must download new "user choiced laguage" catalog file
....
my-cat: make-catalog "app-name"
]
Please Note: version check & auto-update maybe embedded into make-catalog
function definition
