Internationalisation

Our locale data is stored in this Google Sheet. We use a script to convert this data into .json-files that are placed in the locale folder of this repository.

As this uses the Google Sheets APIs, ask your favorite developer for their .credentials.json file so you can use the process below, or create your own google service account.

• Navigate to google cloud console iam section service accounts https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/serviceaccounts
• Create an account
• In the "Keys" tab, click the "+ ADD KEY" button and choose "JSON"
• This will trigger a download for a JSON file. This is your service account key
• Copy the downloaded json file to scripts/.credentials.json

To update the locale data in the repository you run the following:

npm run locales
git add -A locales/ && git commit locales/ -m 'chore: updated locales'
