 I am translating the "WordPress Importer" plugin to Galician language
 https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wordpress-
 importer/dev/gl/default/

 My workflow is:

 1. I export a JSON file with the strings to be translated (only one string
 in my example). See screenshot-01.png. The output file is wp-plugins-
 wordpress-importer-dev-gl-01.json.
 2. I add the translation to the file (one string). I have tried 3 options.
    a. UTF-8 LF (Unix end of line type) with accent mark in Unicode, as I
 have seen in other translations. The result file is wp-plugins-wordpress-
 importer-dev-gl-02.json.
    a. UTF-8 LF (Unix end of line type) with accent mark without Unicode.
 The result file is wp-plugins-wordpress-importer-dev-gl-03.json.
    a. UTF-8 LF (Unix end of line type) without accent mark, only with
 english characters. The result file is wp-plugins-wordpress-importer-dev-
 gl-03.json.
 3. I tried to upload each of this files (see screenshot-02.png) but I
 don't get any translations added (see screenshot-03.png).
 4. To check that the string exists and it is not translated, I copy the
 original string from the JSON file (english string), paste it in the
 search box (see screenshot-04.png) and I find the string untranslated (see
 screenshot-05.png).

 I think the importer with JSON files is not working correctly.
