[Sugar-devel] Localization in web activities

[Sam P.]

I might just put in my 2c of how I do it with the new ASLO.

I have a script [1] that regexes through my code to find where I have put
strings for translation to make a POT file.  I then have a hacky script [2]
that regexes though the PO files to convert them to JSON.  It works pretty
OK I think.

Thanks,
Sam
