I think switching to Transifex's json format should be okay. I don't know the downside of switching to json format as well, which is why at the moment we can continue to use the current workflow and format. I would, therefore, avoid doing too many changes so I'll proceed with merging the PR and then work with Bruno to migrate master's messages.properties file to json format as a next step.

As I understand it, Transifex supports this file format, and it appears that it would simplify the PR as it would remove the need to convert the message*.properties files to JSON. Is my understanding correct? If so, are there any downsides to switching over the JSON format?
