[jira] [Comment Edited] (CB-12723) Globalization - KEEP
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12723?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16178989#comment-16178989 ]

I know this is late, but I think it would make more sense to remove this plugin or change its focus.
# Remove
JS-layer localization is advanced, and what this plugin provides isn't enough. Most people will instead us one of the i18n plugins available in Ember, Angular or some other SPA-framework, or something like moment.js. In its current state this is more like a JS-shim, it doesn't provide anything that's mobile/native related (it's sort of like having a cordova plugin that adds an ES6-shim, doesn't make sense).
# Change focus
Instead of removing it, one could also remove the JS-stuff and instead make it useful for native-level translations. Basically the stuff that goes into InfoPlist.strings (iOS) and strings.xml (Android). Things such as NSCameraUsageDescription and NSLocationUsageDescription need to be localized. Right now we handle this via a custom script wired into the build-hooks.
