title: .po files and gettext VS JSON and custom i18n library?
body: <p>I need to develop or find some sort of lightweight gettext-like library in JavaScript for browser-side translations. Preferably the same library could be used by node.js if I'd like to translate server-side instead.</p>
  
  <p><strong>1) But, what are really the pros and cons of using .po files and a JavaScript gettext library?</strong><br>
  (As opposed to JSON and jQuery Globalize or similar?)</p>
  
  <p><strong>2) And is there any workflow/service that'll allow crowdsourcing of translations that can be exported to a format (.po/json) that can be used by a JavaScript i18n library (gettext implementation, Globalize.js etc.)?</strong></p>
