-In order to maintain backwards compatibility, where an <tt>em:localized</tt> doesn't exist for the required locale then the current method for retrieving the localizable information is used.

 It is suggested that add-on authors will want to continue using the localized properties in certain situations since that mechanism allows a third party locale pack to localize their add-on's metadata.
