+A localizable text column is visible as two properties:
+The plural-name property (e.g. Pokemon.names) is a language-to-name dictionary:
+  bulbasaur.names['en'] == "Bulbasaur" and bulbasaur.names['de'] == "Bisasam".
+  You can use Pokemon.names['en'] to filter a query.
+The singular-name property returns the name in the default language, English.
