[Pas2js] i18n

[Ulrich, Christian]

When pas2js would generate .res files we could use lazarus tools to generate .po file
Then an separate program or pas2js itself could generate separate .js files that replace .current with an new value.

A resourcestring is a javascript object literal with 2 members.
"org" and "current". I think the names are self-describing :)

When getting a resourcestring value, The rtl will first check the "current"
value, and if it is empty, use the "org" value. The "org" value is created by the
compiler when it creates the compiled unit.

So, to translate, create a javascript file which does the following:

pas["yourunit"].$resourcestrings.YourResourcestring.current = "The Translated Value";

Where
"yourunit" is the name of a unit and YourResourcestring is the name of the resource string.

It should not be too difficult to create a program which extracts all
resourcestrings from a program and creates such a file, which you can then
translate. I will add it to my todo list.

Michael.
