/**
 * 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.
