Notes​

  • The list of keys is aggregated from all culture files, which means you might select a key that does not exist in the specified culture file. For example:
// english-united-states.ts
resources: {
    "aboutApp": "About {{appName}}",
    "addTo": "Add to {{container}}",
}

// spanish-spain.ts
resources: {
    "aboutApp": "Acerca de {{appName}}",
}
  • The user would be prompted to select either aboutApp or addTo as a key to update.
  • If the key addTo was selected along with spanish-spain.ts, no modifications can be made, since the key only exists in english-united-states.ts. A warning message should display.
  • The culture files are determined by the path(s) or glob pattern(s) specified in the extension's settings.
