### Cache Behavior

- Language items are cached for 1 hour by `SystemHelper`
- Restart the application after adding new languages

### Auto-Generated Files

Never edit these files manually (marked with `@author FreeGen`):
- `FessLabels.java`
- `FessMessages.java`

Always regenerate them using `mvn dbflute:freegen`

**FastAPI** is all based on these type hints, they give it many advantages and benefits.

But even if you never use **FastAPI**, you would benefit from learning a bit about them.
