Excellent work
This is a function that Wordpress should bring natively!

Essential plugin for translating plugins that use the block editor
The big difficulty when a plugin uses mostly JS is that the source files are minified. It is therefore very difficult to understand exactly where the string to be translated is. This plugin allows to start the translation by validating and testing the strings locally little by little. Without waiting for 90%.
