Scope

We are beginning to build a Smartling integration to provide translations for DotCom pages.

Asana Ticket: https://app.asana.com/1/15492006741476/project/1213994587940653/task/1214847371994672?focus=true

Implementation

  • Made some changes to a fork of Laboratory here for it to be compatible with DotCom.
  • Added Laboratory library to DotCom, along with a new flag for upcoming integration work.

When you navigate to localhost:4001/_flags, ideally you should see some UI for toggling the flag on and off. However, I only see the unrendered HTML. Curious if you have any insight/suggestions, @arkadyan or @thecristen?
