Hi,

Just to let you know that most AI, like Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc, can translate these .json files in some seconds to whatever language you need.

Free accounts are limited to do this due to the amount of words, but paid accounts can do this without any problem.

Just ask to translate the “Original” field to the “Custom” field keeping the formatting.

Review is much easier than translating everything by hand.

In the majority of cases AI is not able to compose correctly JSON files for _every_ platform. I wish you luck but the details of the use, accepted capabilities etc of this type of file, which vary from one platform to another are lost, at least on the AI which is released to the general community.  
Maybe I’m wrong here but in cases I know of on other platforms they have not worked.

On iHost you just need to download the json file.

Then, give the instruction to Gemini or Perplexity to translate the content of the field “Original” to an specific language and put the translated words on the field “Custom”, respecting the formatting.

It will work perfectly.

We tried a lot of AI tools, chatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, etc.  
And lots of enthusiastic volunteers helped us to proofread the translations, and almost all of them can find inaccurate translations, ignoring a certain part of the translation, which makes the native speakers/users confused, and that’s the reason we don’t use AI tools directly for translation, of course, that would be fast.

Hello. This topic is old, however I will tell here the method that I use and it works perfectly, 100% of the translations are correct (in my case).  
First step, I convert the JSON file to CSV, I use python but I think there are also online tools.  
Step two, I upload the csv file to a google sheets.  
Step three, in column C1 I put the formula =GOOGLETRANSLATE(B2;“en”;“xx”), where xx is the language of each user.  
Step four, I wait, I wait for Google to finish translating all the rows…about 2 minutes.  
Step five, File → Download as CSV  
Step six, reconversion CSV → JSON.  
Everything is ready, I did not encounter any syntax problems with the translations, everything between the brackets remains unchanged. It seems complicated but it takes 5 minutes all…and it’s free.
