这一节我们介绍一下chorme App本地化问题--i18n。

在实现国际化，我们需要添加对应的国际化文件，最终整个文件结构图如下

新增了_locales文件夹存放多语言文件，messages.json存放对应key-value多语言文字信息。

我们过去的文字调用方法如下：

引入国际化后，调用方法如下：

那么怎么调用呢？”在manifest.json和css中，使用 “__MSG_messagename__”来调用相应的文字，如“__MSG_chrome_extension_name__”。

在js中，使用如下方法来调用

var message = chrome.i18n.getMessage("click_here", ["string1", "string2"]);//这里知多可以使用9个占位符

对于某些系统信息，chrome提供了相应的常亮，如 @@bidi_dir and @@ui_locale,详情如下：

Message name	Description
@@extension_id	The extension ID; you might use this string to construct URLs for resources inside the extension. Even unlocalized extensions can use this message.  Note: You can't use this message in a manifest file.
@@ui_locale	The current locale; you might use this string to construct locale-specific URLs.
@@bidi_dir	The text direction for the current locale, either "ltr" for left-to-right languages such as English or "rtl" for right-to-left languages such as Japanese.
@@bidi_reversed_dir	If the @@bidi_dir is "ltr", then this is "rtl"; otherwise, it's "ltr".
@@bidi_start_edge	If the @@bidi_dir is "ltr", then this is "left"; otherwise, it's "right".
@@bidi_end_edge	If the @@bidi_dir is "ltr", then this is "right"; otherwise, it's "left".

{
  "search_string": {
    "message": "hello%20world",		//具体的显示文字
    "description": "The string we search for. Put %20 between words that go together."	//注释文字，不会被用户看到
  },
  ...
}
