As a plugin developer, you customize the new/edit plugin instance screens with a layout JSON file. You can group properties into categories and choose the type of field representing each of them.
It is optional, except for audience segment feeds. A default layout is used to show all properties of a plugin version (Note that there is no layout file associated to this default layout).
A plugin layout is composed of:
A layout JSON file
A non-empty list of translation CSV files
Layout JSON file
This file declares the different elements of the configuration UI.
Note that the assets must belong to the same organisation than the plugin.
Translation files
Translation csv files are used to support localization. Given a layout json file, for each locale, a translation csv file can be provided. The plugin developer can refer to a value in the layout json file by surrounding the value name with double curly brackets (hence, referring to value val is done with {{val}} in the json file). Those values can be found anywhere in the layout json file. For example, an excerpt of a layout json file, referring to the value val when defining a label in a field, looks like:
A translation csv is composed of two comma-separated columns. The header of the table is KEY,VALUE. The first column corresponds to the keys, i.e the names of the values (val in the preceding example). The second column corresponds to the values by which the keys will be replaced when the layout will be displayed in Navigator.Considering the previous excerpt of a layout json file, a (brief) corresponding US English (en-US locale) translation csv file could be:
KEY,VALUE
val,"Hello World!"
Here is a sample translation file associated with the sample layout.json file in this page
KEY,VALUE
section_title,"Beeswax Audience Feed"
section_subtitle,"Synchronize audiences with Beeswax"
buzz_key_label,"Buzz key"
buzz_key_tooltip,"Your buzz key as provided by Beeswax. Warning : valid credentials should be set into mediarithmics for this buzz key. If an authentication error is displayed when saving, contact your account manager."

segment_description_tooltip,"The description of the segment that will be populated in Beeswax. Default to mediarithmics segment description."
advertiser_id_label,"Advertiser ID",
advertiser_id_tooltip,"If segment should not belong to the overall beeswax account but to a specific advertiser, please enter its ID.",
