Internationalization Workflow (Draft)

Steps

Developers update strings in msg_hash_us.h.
Developers (can set a cron job) run ./h2json.py msg_hash_us.h to generate msg_hash_us.json. It is just a convenient format that is supported by Weblate/Crowdin/Transifex and doesn't need to be in version control.
Developers (can set a cron job) upload msg_hash_us.json to Weblate/Crowdin/Transifex.
Translators translate strings on Weblate/Crowdin/Transifex.
Developers (can set a cron job) download msg_hash_xx.json files.
Developers (can set a cron job) run ./json2h.py msg_hash_xx.json to generate msg_hash_xx.h.

Pros

No new dependencies.
No performance impact.
Don't require translators to know how to use Git, how to read C code and how to create Pull Request.
Translators will be informed whenever a source string changes.

Cron job setup

Install crowdin cli tool
Get the intl/crowdin.yaml file from someone who have crowdin admin accounts
Add cron job cd path/to/retroarch/intl && ./crowin_sync.sh
