.
Although placeholders such as $USER$ are the preferred way of referring to substitution strings
(strings specified using the substitutions parameter of i18n.getMessage) you can also refer
to substitution strings directly within the message. For example, the following message refers to
the first three substitution strings passed into getMessage():

"message": "Params: $1, $2, $3"

Despite that example, we recommend that you stick to using placeholders instead of $_n_ strings
within your messages. Think of placeholders as good variable names. A week after you write your
code, you'll probably forget what $1 refers to, but you'll know what your placeholders refer to.
For more information on placeholders and substitution strings, see the placeholders section.

description

Optional. A description of the message, intended to give context or details to help the translator
make the best possible translation.

Here are three examples of descriptions, taken from the Example section:
"description": "Ask for the user's name"
...
"description": "Greet the user"
...
"description": "Say goodbye to the user"

placeholders

Optional. Defines one or more substrings to be used within the message. Here are two reasons you
might want to use a placeholder:


To define the text for a part of your message that shouldn't be translated. Examples: HTML code,
trademarked names, formatting specifiers.
To refer to a substitution string passed into getMessage(). Example: $1.


Each placeholder has a name, a "content" item, and an optional "example" item. A placeholder's name
is case-insensitive and can contain the same characters as a message name.

The "content" item's value is a string that can refer to substitution strings, which are specified
using the i18n.getMessage method's substitutions parameter. The value of a "content" item is
typically something like "Example.com" or "$1". If you refer to a substitution string that doesn't
exist, you get an empty string. The following table shows how $_n_ strings correspond to strings
specified by the substitutions parameter.

substitutions parameter
Value of $1
Value of $2
Value of $3
userName
value of userName
""
""
["Cira", "Kathy"]
"Cira"
"Kathy"
""

The "example" item (optional, but highly recommended) helps translators by showing how the content
appears to the end user. For example, a placeholder for a dollar amount should have an example like
"$23.45".

The following snippet, taken from the Example section, shows a "placeholders" item that
contains two placeholders named "our_site" and "user". The "our_site" placeholder has no "example"
item because its value is obvious from the "content" field.
"placeholders": {
  "our_site": {
    "content": "Example.com",
  },
  "user": {
    "content": "$1",
    "example": "Cira"
  }
}
