/// Many languages tell a formal address from an informal one, such as "Sie" and "du" in German. A text with TA()
/// therefore has two keys: its usual key, whose translation addresses the reader formally like all texts of the
/// app, and the same key with INFORMAL_SUFFIX, whose translation addresses the reader informally. The I18N
/// collector writes both keys, and the app looks up the informal one when the person wants to be addressed so.
