Example

• you use some API endpoint for getting translations in key:value form, i.e myapp.com/translations/en for english translations, myapp.com/translations/pl for polish translations etc.
• you have other translations in local JSON files, i.e in directory /myDir/src
• all traslation files have translations.json in their names To serve both local and remote translations under one endpoint (for development purposes) you can do: lotran -d /myDir/src -f **/*.translations.json -u http://myapp.com/translations and lotran will merge translations from local files with remote translations and serve them on localhost: 4300/translations/{lang} where lang is language code
