Re: [manifest] i18n: No localization model; [I18N-ISSUE-412] (#338)

> Having read the documents linked from OP, I am still not quite satisfied. My concern is that the manifest contains locale-dependent records as well as -independent ones. Would you suggest to generate manifest files for all the languages in which e.g. the app name is translated into?

Yes, that is the current suggestion. The assumption is a developer would do that on the server.

Packaged web applications have not traditionally been the target of this specification - hence the missing localization features. 

Is that target for you Crosswalk + Cordova? If so, would it make sense to instead of the configuration document format of Cordova (it supports rich localization features both at the configuration file level, and using a particular directory structure).
