+/**
+ * Purpose: Allows customization of i18n labels from within themes
+ * e.g. Customize the label "menu.section.browse_global" to display "Browse DSpace" rather than "All of DSpace"
+ *
+ * This script uses the i18n files found in a source directory to override settings in files with the same
+ * name in a destination directory. Only the i18n labels to be overridden need be in the source files.
+ *
+ * Execution (using custom theme):
+ * ```
+ *   yarn merge-i18n -s src/themes/custom/assets/i18n
+ * ```
+ *
+ * Input parameters:
+ * * Output directory: The directory in which the original i18n files are stored
+ *   - Defaults to src/assets/i18n (the default i18n file location)
+ *   - This is where the final output files will be written
+ * * Source directory: The directory with override files
+ *   - Required
+ *   - Recommended to place override files in the theme directory under assets/i18n (but this is not required)
+ *   - Files must have matching names in both source and destination directories, for example:
+ *        en.json5 in the source directory will be merged with en.json5 in the destination directory
+ *        fr.json5 in the source directory will be merged with fr.json5 in the destination directory
