[feature] Add support for localization with vscode-loc installed.

Feature Request

There is a VSCode Localization Extension provided by Microsoft, vscode-loc.

According to: microsoft/vscode-loc#894 (comment)

It seems that we should ask particular extensions to support its localization.

Can this extension support the localization with the vscode-loc installed?

[Gruntfuggly]

The extension already supports localization as long as somebody provides the translations. There is already a zh-cn translation file kindly provided by a user, but I don't have the time or language skills to do any myself.

So suppose that I want to add a "Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)" localization. All I need to do is:

1. Copy and paste a package.nls.json and rename to package.nls.zh-tw.json.
2. Add some translations in package.nls.zh-tw.json.
3. Create a PR to submit the change.

Right?

[Gruntfuggly]

Pretty much - if you want to give it a go, I can package up a test version of the extension so you can try it out.

In fact, I've already started to working on the package.nls.zh-tw.json in my forked repo:

• Link: package.nls.zh-tw.json

After completing the translations, all I need to do is to submit a PR to the upstream, right?

@Gruntfuggly

I noticed that some translation entries in zh-cn are missing when I was translating zh-tw. I think it might be because package.nls.zh-cn.json wasn't updated in sync when updating package.nls.json, right? If that's the case, could you please try to keep all the package.nls.XXX.json files updated in sync in the future?

@Gruntfuggly - I've submitted a PR to add zh-tw translations (#756). Please take a look.
