+// An extremely basic translation library
+//
+// Example usage:
+//
+// Set some html to be translated. Do this using the 'data-translate' attribute:
+//
+//   <div data-translate>Test</div>
+//   <div data-translate-html><em>keep em tag</em></div>
+//   <input data-translate-placeholder placeholder="Example text">
+//
+// Obtain all the phrases to be translated via js debug console:
+//
+//   Translate.phrasesAsJson();
+//
+// Use that template to translate the phrases into another language.
+// Leave the key the same. Change the value to the new language.
+//
+// Create a js file to load the new phrases. In this example for Spanish,
+// es.js will contain the following code:
+//
+//   Translate.loadForeignPhrases("es", {
+//       "Test": "Test in Spanish",
+//       "<em>keep em tag</em>": "<em>keep em tag in Spanish</em>",
+//       "Example text": "Example text in Spanish"
+//   });
+//
+// In your UI put a listener for clicking on the Spanish button:
+//
+//   mySpanishButton.addEventListener("click", function() {
+//       Translate.setLanguage("es");
+//   });
+//   myEnglishButton.addEventListener("click", function() {
+//       Translate.setLanguage("en");
+//   });
