JSON Localization
Quite a lot JavaScript libraries or frameworks exist for localizing an application. Therefore we have defined a standard JSON format.
Use a simple json file to define your translations.
Format
- The json file is used.
-
To write a valid JavaScript object (hash), the key does not need to be
quoted.
However, in a valid json file, key and value have to be quoted. - The placeholder syntax is “{{ placeholder }}”.
- The file can have a flat or hierarchical structure (see examples below).
-
comments for segments can be added in the format
“_<key of the associated segment>.comment=…”
