Hi,

I considered using gettext when I thought about how I could implement multilanguage support, but compared with the drop-in solution I have now with the json files, gettext seemed to offer no benefit and even some drawbacks. With gettext, the core (english) language strings would be throughout the code, and in each of the other language files. Changing only a comma/typo in the english strings would require re-compiling the application, and re-compiling all language files. So, actually, not using gettext might even prevent some headaches in this case ;)

Hi,

Is there any way you could use gettext instead? This .json reminds me
Java's properties and all the headache people get when it comes to
updating UI translation :)
