Comment:

 Okay I've been thinking more about how to structure this.
 https://snowflake.torproject.org is structured a bit differently from
 other anti-censorship tp.o sites and therefore does localization
 differently.

 For example, bridgeDB and gettor both use python to render the site and
 python libraries for localization. The snowflake webextension uses
 messages.json for each string in the webextension.

 It looks like right now the translation repository for this website is set
 up to translate the `index.html` file entirely:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/translation.git/tree/?h=snowflake-website-
 indexhtml_completed

 Is this how we want to do this? I'm curious about how the rest of tp.o
 handles localization here. Also, it looks like the index.html file being
 used by transifex doesn't quite match the index.html file in
 `proxy/static/`.

 Does it make incremental changes to index.html harder to update?
