This is an easy plugin to manage internationalization for JSON or Resource-Bundle(Properties) based locale files.
Most common use case is for translating Webapps or simple Java Applications. Translating large scale projects was never that easy with your favourite IDE!
## Use Cases
- Webapps: For example [Vue](https://vuejs.org/) with [vue-i18n](https://kazupon.github.io/vue-i18n/) or any other JSON translation file based technology
- Java based Resource-Bundle
## Features
- UI Tool Window with Table- and Tree-View representation
- Easily Add / Edit / Delete translations
- Filter / Search function to hide irrelevant keys
- Key completion and annotation inside editor
- Configurable locales directory & preferred locale for ui presentation
- Supports modularized (splitted) json files
- Translation keys with missing definition for any locale will be displayed red
- Quick edit any translation by right-click (IntelliJ Popup Action)
- Quick delete any translation via DEL-Key
