JSON Localization
JSON Localization is a technique for managing and storing localized text (translations) for applications in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. It involves structuring language-specific strings, such as UI labels or messages, in JSON files, where keys represent identifiers and values hold the translated text for different locales. This approach is commonly used in web, mobile, and desktop applications to support multiple languages efficiently.
Developers should use JSON Localization when building applications that need to support internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) for global audiences, as it provides a lightweight, human-readable, and easily parsable format. It is particularly useful in JavaScript-based projects (e.g., with React, Vue, or Angular) where JSON integrates seamlessly with front-end frameworks, enabling dynamic language switching and reducing code complexity compared to hardcoded strings.
