Description

International Components for Unicode (ICU) is an open source project of mature C/C++ and Java libraries for Unicode support, software internationalization, and software globalization.

The ICU MessageFormat class uses message "pattern" strings with variable-element placeholders (called "arguments" in the API docs) enclosed in {curly braces}. The argument syntax can include formatting details, otherwise a default format is used. For details about the pattern syntax and the formatting behavior see the MessageFormat API docs (Java, C++, C).

ICU is very powerful for internationalizing your app or website. However, a lot of Translation Management Systems (TMS) do not support ICU MessageFormat. This means their interfaces do not highlight what part of text a translator should translate, and which parts are "code".

This Chrome extension is intended for translators working in a TMS that does not support ICU MessageFormat highlighting. It will find ICU MessageFormat on a web page and add highlighting to it to make it more obvious which parts of the text should be translated and which should be left alone.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
