Add support for i18n

[miketaylr]

Let's start with getting the plumbing to work with just English for right now.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/i18n Example addon: https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples/tree/master/notify-link-clicks-i18n

https://github.com/webcompat/webcompat-reporter-extensions/blob/master/shared/base.js#L10 is a good string to start with. We can file a separate bug for name and description in manifest.json

Hi, @miketaylr. I've been reading about i18n and tried understand how to integrate itwith this project.

[miketaylr]

Cool! I'm happy to let you figure that out on your own, but if you need some specific pointers on how to get started, just let me know.

[Edely]

@miketaylr I believe I need more specific pointers. After some reading I understand how to use i18n in webpages, but I not sure how to integrate in the project structure.

[miketaylr]

Hi @Edely.

Did you look at the sample web extension repo here: https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples/tree/master/notify-link-clicks-i18n? That should give you some pretty good hints at how to proceed with i18n.getMessage.

@miketaylr If no one is working on this, can I challenge myself with this issue as part of my Outreachy contribution?

[Edely]

I have not been able to work on this issue last days so that's fine by me.

@Edely thanks for clarification!
