Localization
ScratchTools wants the extension to be used by lots of people, and part of that is making sure that everyone has the ability to understand it. ScratchTools works hard to translate the extension into many different languages, with the help of 100+ translators who speak a combined 30+ languages.
We update strings when new features are added, which is fairly often. It's never overwhelming, as it's usually just a few words every few days. Just be prepared to see changes to source files every once in a while.
Translators are eligible to be added to our credits page.
As we begin translating the extension, please prioritize translating into main languages before specific dialects. For example, prioritize "pt" (Portuguese) before "pt_BR" (Portuguese in Brazil).

Localization for developers
