go-i18n JSON files

Added in version 4.1.

Changed in version 4.16: Support for v2 variant of this format was added.

go-i18n translations are monolingual, so it is recommended to specify a base file with (what is most often the) English strings.

Note

Weblate supports the go-i18n JSON v1 and v2 variants. Please choose correct file format matching your environment.
