The system used for localization of this project leverages the infrastructure and data that already exists for VS Code. These assets are applicable to Arduino IDE 2.x due to the project being built on the Eclipse Theia IDE framework. In this way, the Arduino IDE developers and community are only responsible for internationalization and localization of the Arduino-specific strings (e.g., "Sketchbook") used in the IDE's UI. The unfortunate downside to this approach is that there is a hard technical limit on localization of the project to languages for which a VS Code "language pack" is available. It will be helpful to clearly communicate the set of languages for which we are able to ship contributions from translators. Likewise, it will be useful to also communicate that, we are able to ship contributions of translations of Arduino CLI user interface strings for any language. This is due to the fact that the Arduino CLI codebase uses a completely different internationalization system that does not impose any technical limits on the scope of localization.
Cloud Sketchbook
Arduino IDE provides a Cloud Sketchbook feature that can be used to upload sketches to Arduino Cloud.

In order to use this feature, a user must be registered on Arduino Cloud and logged in. This feature is completely optional and can be disabled in the IDE via the "File > Advanced > Hide Cloud Sketchbook" menu item.
Developer guide
A developer could use the content of this repo to create a customized version of this feature and implement a different remote storage as follows:
1. Changing remote connection parameters in the Preferences panel (be careful while editing the Preferences panel!)
Here a screenshot of the Preferences panel

- The settings under Arduino > Auth should be edited to match the OAuth2 configuration of your custom cloud sketchbook storage
- The setting under Arduino > Sketch Sync Endpoint should be edited to point to your custom cloud sketchbook storage service
2. Implementing the Arduino Cloud Store APIs for your custom cloud sketchbook storage
Following the API Reference below:
