Localization

Overview

The file msg/messages.js defines all the messages used by scratch-blocks.

The file msg/scratch_msgs.js contains all the translations for scratch-blocks. It is generated from translations in the Scratch translation service Transifex.

The tests ensure that the translations are consistent with the definitions. So adding messages or changing message placeholders require developer access to the Scratch project on Transifex.

If you submit a PR that changes messages.js and you are not a Scratch Team member, the translation tests should fail. Make sure you check the 'Allow edits from maintainers' option on your PR, and then tag a Scratch Team member to push a commit to your branch that includes translations. All the tests other than test:messages should run correctly before you submit the PR.
