Localizing your extension html pages in a snap!
Here is an astute method I got from Vitaly a colleague I worked with a few years ago for easily and quickly localizing your html files. It relies on jquery, the i18 chrome API and the corresponding dictionnary built in your extension package. 1/ Copy paste the following jquery code into a file you'll name translate.js $($=> { $('[translate]').each((i, elem)=> { let $elem = $(elem); $elem.text(chrome.i18n.getMessage($elem.text())); }); }); 2/ edit each and every html page of your extension: add a "translate" attribute to all elements requiring translation like: <span translate>theStringToTranslate</span> include the above translate.js in your page. Voila ... !
