Internationalization tool

[juraj.masiar]

Hello,

I’m implementing the internationalization support for my add-on and I would like to avoid manual creation of the messages.json file.

Is there some tool that could help me generating this JSON file?
It could be a web-application, add-on or desktop-application… Somethins simple where I would just type key and message and maybe short description and it would generate the file.

For the past 10 years, Video DownloadHelper has used Babelzilla to maintain more or less 30 locales. But Babelzilla is no longer maintained and anyway, they did not take the jump to WebExtensions. Video DownloadHelper 7.0.0 released yesterday introduces a feature that could be generalized to almost any add-on around. Basically, it’s a layer between the i18n API and the…

It is a really fine way to do translations.
