D2R String Translator is a Visual Studio Code extension that simplifies editing and translating JSON files containing multilingual strings for Diablo II Resurrected.
Features
Works only with .json files: The extension operates exclusively on JSON files.
JSON format validation: Automatically checks if the file follows the expected format (an array of objects with language fields).
Editing interface: Opens a webview where JSON data can be structured and edited conveniently.
Automatic ID assignment: Assigns the next available ID to new objects.
Translation function: Automatically translates missing language fields using Google Translate.
JSON export: If the file does not match the expected format, the JSON object is formatted and displayed separately.
