Why use JSON for translations?
JSON is the most popular format for storing translations in different type of projects. It works great for web and mobile apps and games localization. Storing translations in JSON files makes it much easier to work with and to manage translations from a project building and management perspective. Using JSON files for translations has many benefits:
- universal file format that you can go with anywhere,
- it is known and widely used among developers,
- it's easy to read even by non-technical people,
- simple key-value structure.
How to use JSON files for translations?
JSON files are very easy for translation management. There are different ways to manage translations with JSON so you can choose which one works best for you and your project:
- Single-language JSON - all translations for a language are stored in a single file. It contains a translation key set by developer and localized message (our translation). Each language has a separate JSON file.
- Multi-language JSON - translations for all languages are stored in one JSON file. The file structure contains language as a key and translation as a value.
- Custom SimpleLocalize JSON - this JSON format allows storing translation with additional information, like description for translators or extra key details.
