This tutorial is for version 2. Therefore, make sure the configurations shows “Version 2” in the top right. If not, click the link just below to convert it.

Now it gets interesting 
And this section is what this tutorial really is about. We introduce “JSON path” which is the standard mechanism to select content in JSON files and, in our case, the content we want to translate.
