The INI localization format

localizr.net service supports universal INI style localization file format which keeps software locale data in sections / key = value structure.

A lot of software developers have chosen this format to internationalize their applications. This format is very easy to edit and maintain by software translators.

The INI file is a plain text file with the following structure:

;comment

[section]
key1 = value
key2 = another value
key3 = yet another value

[other_section]
;comment
key1 = value
...

Software developer has to implement the functionality which will read and manage localization files which contain translated strings.
