<script>
  Localize.initialize({
    key: '[[app:key]]',
    rememberLanguage: true,
    // other options go here, separated by commas
  });

4b. Add Initialization Options

Add any desired options to the Localize.initialize() call above, check here for the full list of possible options.

Some popular options include:

• autoApprove - use to fully automate your translation workflow
