+Retrieving the Message Catalogue
+--------------------------------
+
+In case you want to use the same translation catalogue outside your application
+(e.g. use translation on a client side), it's possible to fetch raw translation messages.
+You just need to specify required locale::
+
+    $messages = $translator->getMessages('fr_FR');
+
+``$messages`` will have the following structure::
+
+    array(
+        'messages' => array(
+            'Hello world' => 'Bonjour tout le monde',
+        ),
+        'validators' => array(
+            'Value should not be empty' => 'Valeur ne doit pas être vide',
+            'Value is too long' => 'Valeur est trop long',
+        ),
+    );
