FbLocalization

FbLocalization is an application to view and edit localization binary chunk files from games built with the Frostbite game engine.

This will provide only the base functionality for reading and writing the modified binary chunk. A better way would be to include the histogram chunk and proper encoding support, but for this demo project it's enough for now.
