                International Components for Unicode (ICU) is an open source project of mature C/C++ and Java libraries for Unicode support, software internationalization, and software globalization.

The ICU MessageFormat class uses message "pattern" strings with variable-element placeholders (called "arguments" in the API docs) enclosed in {curly braces}. The argument syntax can include formatting details, otherwise a default format is used. For details about the pattern syntax and the formatting behavior see the MessageFormat API docs (Java, C++, C).

ICU is very powerful for internationalizing your app or website. However, a lot of Translation Management Systems (TMS) do not support ICU MessageFormat. This means their interfaces do not highlight what part of text a translator should translate, and which parts are "code".

This Chrome extension is intended for translators working in a TMS that does not support ICU MessageFormat highlighting. It will find ICU MessageFormat on a web page and add highlighting to it to make it more obvious which parts of the text should be translated and which should be left alone.
