Updated docs on localization and translation strings

[Deleted User]

Hi all. I just spent the better part of the weekend adding some tests and fixes to our translation strings. This ended up being a LOT of work. This got me to thinking about a couple of things:

1. Most people don't know how our app ends up getting translated. I kind of just quietly order translations and put in the odd fix here and there and our translations just sort of magically happen.
2. Because of this black box process there are a few inefficiencies that cause me and other to end up having to do a lot of extra needless work.

To this end I decided to beef up our localization developer docs and I'm hoping you'll all give a read. I'm hoping that this article and articles like this can also help us onboard new developers better so if you don't understand something please leave a comment here or add a clarification directly to the article.

First, read the post I left to support. Then read the article on localization.

All devs should read and understand the article. My hope is for us to always strive towards a more streamlined development process, and handoffs between teams is often one of the biggest chokepoints. Understanding what other people have to do and what the repercussions of your work will really help with this.
