Hi

I'm trying to translate whole kibana into korean  
But there is a problem extracting defaultMessage with en.json

The [guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development-plugin-localization.html) uses "scripts/i18n-extract" to extract en.json, which does not exist in my kibana folder (/usr/share/kibana).

It's in Kibana on github, and I don't know how to use it.

Is there a way?

Thanks

You have to clone the repository from Github into a local directory using git, and execute the script from there. To execute it, you need to have node installed.

I'm not 100% sure, but it might be possible that before you can execute the script, you need to run `yarn kbn bootstrap` from the root of the Kibana repository. To do so it's also necessary to install yarn.
