Messages
This directory contains "messages" files, which are JSON-format files containing human-translated strings that are needed by Blockly.
Translating
We do not accept pull requests for files in this directory. Instead, we use Translatewiki to manage translations for Blockly. Please refer to the detailed instructions on how to help us translate Blockly on the Blockly Developers site.
There is one notable exception: because the language is not supported
by Translatewiki, contributors to the Klingon translation
may submit PRs making changes to tlh.json directly.
Building
Blockly cannot use the files in this directory directly. Instead,
they must first be converted into executable .js files we call
"langfiles". This is done automatically as needed by the build
system, but you can also run this build step manually by invoking npm run langfiles; the output will be found in build/msg/.
