.JSON - Chrome Messages (Strings)

Google provides internationalization support for Chrome extensions. Localized strings for Chrome extensions are stored in a .JSON file often named messages.json. Chrome JSON files have a slightly different structure than .JSON files used for localization on other platforms. For Chrome JSON, strings that need translation are placed in the sub-key message nested under each unit key-value pair. A description may also be added to each key-value pair.
