      description: "A string to present in the KSPDevUtils documentation example. It illustrates"
      + " how the class can be used to localize a message.",
      example: "Sample text in English");

  // A simple way when no extra details are provided.
  static readonly Message msg2 = "#myLocalizationTag";

  public override void OnAwake() {
    base.OnAwake();

    // This will load the localized string and print it into the log.
    HostedDebugLog.Info(this, msg1.Format());

    // The next example will only work if there is a localizable string defined. Otherwise, it will
    // print the tag.
    HostedDebugLog.Info(this, msg2.Format());

    // A simple message can be just casted to string to get the localized content.
    PrintString(msg1);
  }

  void PrintString(string str) {
    HostedDebugLog.Info(this, str);
  }
