Developers will save time and effort on managing texts in the source code. The code is easier to read and maintain when you can use a translation key instead of a block of text. The responsibility of managing translations is also more important for translators rather than developers. Product managers will be able to see the progress of translations to a new languages and see the impact on the user experience.
