The most basic and common JSON format for software app localization. It can be used in any kind of web projects, desktop program or game. Simple JSON object contains translation key set by a developer during program implementation process, and localized message for end user.
File format example
{
"SALE": "Verkauf",
"ADDRESS": "Adresse"
}
You can also use multi-language-json format to download all translations at once.
SimpleLocalize also recognizes nested JSON keys like shown below.
{
"SALE": {
"NESTED": "Verkauf"
}
}
Above JSON will result with SALE.NESTED translation key.
