/**
 * The message manager provides a thin wrapper around Java's built-in
 * localization support, supporting a policy of dividing up localization
 * resources into logical units, all of the translations for which are
 * contained in a single messages file.
 *
 * <p> The message manager assumes that the locale remains constant for
 * the duration of its operation. If the locale were to change during the
 * operation of the client, a call to {@link #setLocale} should be made to
 * inform the message manager of the new locale (which will clear the
 * message bundle cache).
