Let's install locize:

With the help of the locize plugin, you'll be able to use your app within the locize InContext Editor.

Now your app looks still the same, but your translations are separated. If you want to support a new language, you just create a new folder and a new translation json file. This gives you the possibility to send the translations to some translators. Or if you're working with a translation management system you can just synchronize the files with a cli.
