Here are some pointers to how Firefox Accounts is doing it:

Here is the imitable fxa-content-server repo:

Here is the repo with the actual localization strings:

https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-content-server-l10n

These are included with bower:

https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-content-server/blob/master/bower.json#L11

Here are some l10n-* tasks:

Here's the repo with the strings:

https://github.com/l20n/l20n.js looks pretty interesting, and is developed by us (see http://l20n.org/). Devs were also pretty responsive on #l20n IRC channel when I was asking questions.
