  "id": "TALK_EXODII_MERCHANT_TalkJob",
  "type": "talk_topic",
  "dynamic_line": {
    "concatenate": [
      "Aye, business afore, 'tis said.  What'll ye tass to ol' Rubik?",
      "\"\n\n[TRANSLATE:] \"",
      "Business before pleasure.  What do you need?"
    ]
  }
}

Usage:

cd path/to/Cataclysm-DDA/
python3 tools/json_tools/update-translate-dialogue-mod.py
then lint via json_formatter.cgi, check doc/JSON/JSON_STYLE.md
You can also add "//": "mod_update_script_compact" to dynamic lines to make the script concatenate that line more compactly and without newlines, which is useful if the original dialog also uses concatenation.
