⚙️ 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.
