@fr32c: a little unsure what you're requesting. Most editors (although not Brackets, yet) support search-replace across a whole folder: you give one search term, one replacement string, and a folder root. But it sounds like you're looking for a feature where you input multiple search terms at once, and each search term has a different replacement string. Is that correct?
That would make for a great Brackets extension, but I'm not sure it's a feature we'd add to Brackets core in the immediate future.
I'm a little confused when you discuss localization, though. Localization usually works quite differently: you wouldn't normally hardcode on language's strings and then search-and-replace with a different languages strings. Typically you write code that references string "keys" and the keys are mapped to localized strings dynamically, at runtime -- not by modifying code in your editor. There are many different approaches and frameworks for implementing localization like this. Is your question about supporting certain localization frameworks in Brackets?
I have no idea if this is something already available, but i'd look for a mechanism in which i give a folder and a list of terms to search and replace.
Example is built on the way software deal with language changes (in a documentation or anything)
I base it on Edge Animate lessons (+show package content) Applications/Adobe Edge Animate/Adobe Edge Animate.app/Contents/Resources/edgeApp/lessons
you've got html folder, and they relate to
/Applications/Adobe Edge Animate/Adobe Edge Animate.app/Contents/Resources/fr_FR/zstring to translate partly files are implementated like this: "$$$/Lessons/ContentCreation/CreatingContent/Title=Création de contenu"
I guess something like that already exists maybe directly in the getting_started.js file
I of course has many more usages than just language replacement, you could imagine setting lists of common searches, use grep within, etc.
(hope it's the right place to post)
