Comment (by azaozz):

 This ticket is basically for the ability to "merge" the already set
 script_data with newly added values. Indeed this was possible to do with
 the proposed `add_script_data()` in #11520 however it didn't make it.

 Localizing a script (as done in WordPress) means setting a simple JS
 object as `string_name : translated_value`, then the main script uses the
 translated strings as needed. Agree it doesn't make sense for this to be
 overwritten. Additionally `html_entity_decode()` needs to be run on the
 translations.

 Adding arbitrary "script_data" was supposed to be the underlying API
 method for localizing a script but with more possibilities like
 merging/overwriting already added data, i.e. exactly what you would use in
 this case.
