DIY In-App Locale Editor with slang
summary
Builds an in-app editor using the open-source slang library with a merged PR that adds a getOverwrite hook so strings can be tracked and swapped at runtime; wraps pages with a TranslationScope widget and uses Provider + a cubit to load, edit, persist and broadcast changes; a string story system maps keys to widget previews so translators get visual context; edits export/import as JSON (stored to Firebase Storage), tool applies changes back into source; currently v0.0.2 with notable boilerplate.
