+# i18n tools
+This folder contains tools which aid in working with everything related to
+the internationalization/localization of the extension.
+
+## i18n summary
+The extension strings are defined in `//src/_locales/en/manifest.json`, which is
+the "source file". This file then is translated to multiple languages, each of
+which has its own subfolder at `//src/_locales`.
+
+In order to streamline translation efforts, the translation is done in a
+[Crowdin project](https://crowdin.com/project/translateselectedtext) (because
+translators aren't always developers, and they might not know about git), which
+is synced to this git repository via the tools offered in this folder.
+
+## Tools
+- `upload-sources.bash`:  used to upload the `manifest.json` source file to
+Crowdin, in order to sync it.
+- `bump-translations.bash`: used to download updated translations from Crowdin
+and create a new commit with the new updates.
+- `generate-i18n-credits.go` (should not be called directly): used by the build
+script to generate the list of translators which are displayed in the credits
+dialog in the extension. The list of translators is retrieved from Crowdin, and
+users listed in `blocked-users.txt` are removed from the list (some translators
+who contributed before Crowdin was set up are also manually added to the list by
+the script).
+
+## Crowdin settings file
+In order to use these tools, the crowdin settings file must be created and set
+up:
+
+1. Create a copy of `crowdin.template.yml` called `crowdin.yml`.
+2. Edit `crowdin.yml` replacing `{{API_TOKEN}}` by the actual API token.
