--------------------------------

I know this is late, but I think it would make more sense to remove this plugin 
or change its focus.

# Remove
JS-layer localization is advanced, and what this plugin provides isn't enough. 
Most people will instead us one of the i18n plugins available in Ember, Angular 
or some other SPA-framework, or something like moment.js. In its current state 
this is more like a JS-shim, it doesn't provide anything that's mobile/native 
related (it's sort of like having a cordova plugin that adds an ES6-shim, 
doesn't make sense).

# Change focus
Instead of removing it, one could also remove the JS-stuff and instead make it 
useful for native-level translations. Basically the stuff that goes into 
InfoPlist.strings (iOS) and strings.xml (Android). Things such as 
NSCameraUsageDescription and NSLocationUsageDescription need to be localized. 
Right now we handle this via a custom script wired into the build-hooks.
