If you use a pickaxe with the silk touch enchantment while breaking a spawner, you will receive the spawner you broke. When placing the spawner again, the spawner will spawn the mob it spawned when breaking it.

Locale files must be named accordingly to the messages_myfile.properties naming schema and can be used by setting myfile as locale.* **If you have created your own translation, it would be awesome if you could submit it at our [translation program](https://crowdin.com/project/silkspawners), so other people can use it too.**
