Google Chrome Extensions Localizer v1.3

FAQ

What is Localizer?

Localizer is an online service that allows an extension developer or any other person to translate extension texts using Google Translate and edit it in a friendly environment, and then share the result with everyone else.

What is messages.json file?

Each internationalized extension has at least one file named messages.json that contains localized strings for the extension. Each locale having its own messages.json file that contains all the strings in that locale's encoding.

Where are the language files stored?

The default location is:

<chrome profile directory> /Extensions/ <extension id> / <version> /_locales/ <localeCode>

Chrome stores your data and settings, such browsing history, bookmarks, themes, extensions etc., in a special profile directory.
The default location of the Chrome profile directory is operating system-dependent:

Google Chrome: <drive>:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

Chromium: <drive>:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Chromium\User Data\Default
