Hey! I am working on Internationalization of BB as a potential project and have identified 2 different approaches for going forward with it
The first approach uses two directories: locales-dev/ for developers to add and update keys, and locales/ for production-ready translations managed by Weblate. This method provides more control over what gets deployed, with changes reviewed and merged manually. However, it adds an extra step for syncing updates.
The second approach simplifies this by having only one locales/ directory, where both developers and Weblate update translations directly. A separate translations branch can be used for Weblate commits, allowing for review before merging into main. This removes manual syncing but still ensures consistency through automated checks. 
Which one of these do you guys think seems for optimal for BB
