/**
 * JavaFX offers a simple way to translate UI components. In this example, a simple gui implements
 * a language switch. The switch is basically a {@link ComboBox} with two languages to choose. The
 * content-part of the UI is loaded from an fxml file. In this file, the label's text is set to
 * "%label" which means that the text is going to be translated to whatever the set resource
 * bundle provides.
