As a developer I can annotate objects to be internationalized and let a framework do the rest

      Up until Magnolia 5.0, we were relying on code calling info.magnolia.cms.i18n.MessagesManager in each and every place that needed translation.
      The process was tedious and error prone. If a developer forgot to do this from the start, or to write his code in such a way that labels could be internationalized, finding usages of code and replacing it can be a long and error prone process.
      With this proposal, we introduce an annotation-based framework, where any object can be decorated such that its method annotated with @I18nText will return a translated text.
