The backend changes[1] for localizing devtools leverage the existing
webui functionalities, which consume a list of id mappings from the id
of a string used in the frontend (i.e. the English string) to the IDS_
key of the string in the corresponding grdp file. Example:
const LocalizedString kLocalizedStrings[] = {
...
{"Editable", IDS_DEVTOOLS_2c09e798bf8c5a82d211331c82893a0f},
...
}
This patch adds scripts that generate the structure. The output will be
two files, devtools_ui_strings_map.h and .cc, under
<generated files root directory>/chrome/browser/ui/webui
(e.g. D:/chromium/src/out/Release/gen/chrome/browser/ui/webui).
The design is to create a build step that calls generate_devtools_ui_strings.py,
which then calls generate_devtools_ui_strings.js. Integration into the build
system will come as a another patch, because it depends on the first set of
changes[2].
Example arguments to generate_devtools_ui_strings.js to generate output
files (invoke under '--root_gen_dir', e.g. D:/chromium/src/out/release/gen
in the example below):
['D:/chromium/src/third_party/node/win/node.exe',
'D:/chromium/src/third_party/blink/renderer/devtools/scripts/build/generate_devtools_ui_strings.js',
'--root_gen_dir', 'D:/chromium/src/out/release/gen',
'--output_header', 'chrome/browser/ui/webui/devtools_ui_strings_map.h',
'--output_cc', 'chrome/browser/ui/webui/devtools_ui_strings_map.cc']
