  * Every entity type needs a translation controller to be translated. This can
  * be specified through the "controllers['translation']" key in the entity
  * info. If an entity type is enabled for translation and no translation
- * controller is defined, Drupal\content_translation\ContentTranslationController

+ * controller is defined,
+ * \Drupal\content_translation\ContentTranslationController will be assumed.
+ * Every translation controller class must implement
+ * \Drupal\content_translation\ContentTranslationControllerInterface.
  *
  * If the entity paths match the default patterns above and there is no need for
  * an entity-specific translation controller class, Content Translation will
  * provide built-in support for the entity. It will still be required to enable
  * translation for each translatable bundle.
  *
- * Additionally some more entity info keys can be defined to further customize
- * the translation UI. The content translation info is an associative array that
- * has to match the following structure. Two nested arrays keyed respectively
- * by the 'translation' key and the 'content_translation' key. Elements:
- * - access callback: The access callback for the translation pages. Defaults to
- *   'entity_translation_translate_access'.
- * - access arguments: The access arguments for the translation pages. By
- *   default only the entity object is passed to the access callback.
- *
- * This is how entity info would look for a module defining a new translatable
- * entity type:
- * @code
- *   function mymodule_entity_info_alter(array &$info) {
- *     $info['myentity'] += array(
- *       'menu_base_path' => 'mymodule/myentity/%my_entity_loader',
- *       'menu_path_wildcard' => '%my_entity_loader',
- *       'translation' => array(
- *         'content_translation' => array(
- *           'access_callback' => 'mymodule_myentity_translate_access',
- *           'access_arguments' => array(2),
- *         ),
- *       ),
- *     );
- *     $info['myentity']['controllers'] += array('translation' => 'Drupal\mymodule\MyContentTranslationController');
- *   }
- * @endcode
