I was looking into this recently and I'm amazed how many different but very similar formats there are. For example, Django uses gettext, JavaScript has several different JSON formats (e.g. i18next, polyglot) and Go has its own JSON/TOML/YAML format. Each format seems so similar I don't understand why they didn't use an existing one. Usually you want your translators to use a web interface to edit translations so different formats make this troublesome.
