+ * @defgroup plugin_translatable Annotation for translatable text
+ * @{
+ * Describes how to put translatable UI text into annotations.
+ *
+ * When providing plugin annotation, properties whose values are displayed in
+ * the user interface should be made translatable. Much the same as how user
+ * interface text elsewhere is wrapped in t() to make it translatable, in plugin
+ * annotation, wrap translatable strings in the @ Translation() annotation.
+ * For example:
+ * @code
+ * title = @ Translation("Title of the plugin"),
+ * @endcode
+ * Remove spaces after @ in your actual plugin - these are put into this sample
+ * code so that it is not recognized as annotation.
+ *
+ * To provide replacement values for placeholders, use the "arguments" array:
+ * @code
+ * title = @ Translation("Bundle !title", arguments = {"!title" = "Foo"}),
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * It is also possible to provide a context with the text, similar to t():
+ * @code
+ * title = @ Translation("Bundle", context = "Validation"),
+ * @endcode
+ * Other t() arguments like language code are not valid to pass in. Only
+ * context is supported.
+ *
+ * @see i18n
+ * @see annotation
