Allow user to explicitly choose extension language #228

Open

Description

@schmich
  • Locale-specific messages are available to the extension (e.g. at chrome-extension://.../_locales/ja/messages.json)
  • We could statically store locale list and allow user to change it in settings
    • "Same as browser" setting (default) - no manual parsing/handling of messages
    • Changing language would require user to reload extension
  • Non-default locale
    • We manually locate and parse messages.json
    • Need to override chrome.i18n API or provide shim/proxy for extension to use

From @L1Q in #139:

I like how it's now conveniently translated in my case into russian, but I very much liked english.
Is there a way to force marinara to use english language again?

From Yoko in CWS:

This app is so convenient for me!
But from yesterday, its language had been transformed into Japanese.
Though I'm Japanese, I would like to use this app in English...
Sadly, it seems to be difficult (#139).
I will be happy to change its language freely :)
