You can use the chrome.i18n infrastructure to implement internationalization across your whole chrome app or chrome extension.
To localize a chrome extension chrome.i18n is using a custom JSON format that you can either import and export manually on the dashboard or you can automate your Chrome extension translation process with the GL Strings Localization CLI.
