+## Roots
+
+An application can have multiple roots. It is sometimes useful to instantiate
+sub components in places that are not managed by Owl, such as an html editor
+with dynamic content (the Knowledge application in Odoo).
+
+To create a root, one can use the `createRoot` method, which takes two arguments:
+
+- **`Component`**: a component class (Root component of the app)
+- **`config (optional)`**: a config object that may contain a `props` object or a
+  `env` object.
+
+The `createRoot` method returns an object with a `mount` method (same API as
+the `App.mount` method), and a `destroy` method.
+
+```js
+const root = app.createRoot(MyComponent, { props: { someProps: true } });
+await root.mount(targetElement);
+
+// later
+root.destroy();
+```
+
+Note that, like with owl `App`, it is the responsibility of the code that created
+the root to properly destroy it (before it has been removed from the DOM!). Owl
+has no way of doing it itself.

+## Translatable props
+
+When you need to pass a user-facing string to a subcomponent, you likely want it
+to be translated. Unfortunately, because props are arbitrary expressions, it wouldn't
+be practical for Owl to find out which parts of the expression are strings and translate
+them, and it also makes it difficult for tooling to extract these strings to generate
+terms to translate. While you can work around this issue by doing the translation in
+JavaScript, or by using `t-set` with a body (the body of `t-set` is translated),
+and passing the variable as a prop, this is a sufficiently common use case that Owl
+provides a suffix for this purpose: `.translate`.

+```xml
+<t t-name="ParentComponent">
+    <Child someProp.translate="some message"/>

+Note that the content of this attribute is _NOT_ treated as a JavaScript expression:
+it is treated as a string, as if it was an attribute on an HTML element, and translated
+before being passed to the component. If you need to interpolate some data into the
+string, you will still have to do this in JavaScript.
