Add localizations

[IsSuEat]

Hi there!

Julian Richen added localization support, so we should use this! :) I am currently adding a German translation, but that's about all the languages I can translate. So if you want the addon in your language, please submit a PR

Thanks, Armin

For local codes: https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Locale_Codes

<639-1 code>-<316601 code>.properties

Use the 639-1 column: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes Use the Alpha-2 code column: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1

Example file names:

en-US.properties
en-UK.properites
de-DE.properites
fr-FR.properties

I guess en-US.properties should be the base template?

[IsSuEat]

Yes, I would also say that we use en-US.properties as the template for any future translations.

What I couldn't find is a way to translate the addons description string though. Might not be supported by the addon-sdk for the time being

I also had trouble finding this but stumbled across this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Localization/Localizing_extension_descriptions?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Localizing_extension_descriptions

It seems like you manually create the install.rdf? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Install_Manifests

Not 100% but my best guess would be:

The file must be called install.rdf and live at the top level of an addon's XPI file. So in the root?
