βοΈ How FBT works
FBT works by transforming your <fbt> and fbt(...) constructs via
Simple HTML DOM Parser. It serves to extract strings from source and
lookup translated payloads generated during execution. FBT creates tables
of all possible variations for each fbt phrase and accesses them
at runtime.
