How to implement translated strings?

• Translations are referred to by clojure symbols
• Jumping to translation definition is done by jumping to the symbol definition
• Finding unused translations is done by finding unreferred symbols
• Finding out dated and missing translations should be automatic
• Translations refer to the source language version by a hash
• Translations are thus automatically invalidated when the source text is changed
• Generating excell sheets for translators and reading them back should be automated
• When the srouce text changes after translation, the excell sheets should contain the old and new source text and the old translation.
• The results of each translation batch should be saved to the version control for this purpose. This can be done as edn rather than code that defines symbols.
• An html page could be generated that contains a user interface for translators
• Requirements
• Editing translations directly from the screen or at least finding the key by clicking the screen
• Angular leaves the key to the dom element and it can be inspected by browser's developer tools
• Finding unused translations
• Finding unreferenced symbols should be supported by ides
• Renaming transaltion keys and references to them
• Renaming clojure symbols should be supported by ides
