+ * An API which allows Marionette to handle localized content.
+ *
+ * The localization (https://mzl.la/2eUMjyF) of UI elements in Gecko based
+ * applications is done via entities and properties. For static values entities
+ * are used, which are located in .dtd files. Whereby for dynamically updated
+ * content the values come from .property files. Both types of elements can be
+ * identifed via a unique id, and the translated content retrieved.
