what is the significance of __('Main Menu')

So I checked out register nav menus in the codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_nav_menus and I realized that the array values being used don't have __() around them. I removed it and there was no difference. Please is there any significance, or does it serve any purpose.

Those are localization functions that are used to make a theme support multiple languages.
