/**
 * This script is used to build the translations files.
 *
 * Indeed, some strings used in plugin settings are not easy to write
 * in JSON format (contains html, double quotes, line breaks, ...).
 * So we use YAML files to translates these strings,
 * including the english version.
 *
 * This scripts takes the standard JSON files, the YAML translation files,
 * and mixes everything up in dist/languages/xx.json.
