The mixin is a thin wrapper around (_a forked version of_) [``](https://github.com/PolymerElements/app-localize-behavior). Chrome i18n translation files have these advantages over the localization files required by ``: - Each message can be supplemented by a description, which gives translators additional context. - Chrome i18n is a widely used standard, which is supported by translation platforms like [Transifex](https://docs.transifex.com/formats/chrome-json). This avoids the build step to transform output from a translation platform to the `` localization file. To use the mixin: `bower install app-localize-chrome-i18n-mixin` ## License This software is licensed under the Apache 2 license, quoted below. Copyright 2011-2017 Collaborne B.V.
