Do you need to translate "zotero.json"?

zotero.json has been added to the Transifex translations, but do you need to translate it?
The app's translation files do not include languages other than en-US.

The localization was carried out on Transifex.

My question is whether I need to translate anything that isn't in the app's language file.

I'm not sure what you're asking. If something is on Transifex, you would need to translate it if you want the translations within the app.

This means that language files other than en-US do not include "zotero.json".
Is it possible that an app would need to reference "zotero.json" if it's not included in the language file?
Incidentally, it seems that there are no display problems even without "zotero.json".

zotero.json is used to generate the FTL files. If you want to localize Zotero, you need to translate the strings in zotero.json.

I see, that makes sense.

Okay, then I'll continue with the translation.
