CONFIG_NAME = "Accept negative Julian days"
DISPLAY_NAME = _("Accept negative Julian days")
DESCRIPTION = _("""
              Enables the use of dates before Julian day = 0 (4713 BC)

              This means that prehistorical dates can be used.
              We are not quiet sure that the calculations works correctly
              for negative julian days and therefore it's an experimental feature.

              Be aware of the fact that a timeline created with this feature active,
              may not be readable with Timeline if the feature is switched off.
