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

> @marcoscaceres I don't know that it ended in sadness and confusion, but the model Widgets uses was somewhat complex (more so because there were actually TWO models--one in the configuration file and other that used directory structure)

Oh, what I meant to say was that the "mix and matching" (some could be lolcalized, some could not) of the element localization model became confusing. Overall, I think the model was awesome. The mistake was just not making everything localizable. I also think the directory localization model was great. 

> I don't care for the "solution" of generating multiple manifests because there doesn't seem to be a mechanism in place for finding out about which manifests are available and selecting the "right" one for the job (aka "language negotiation")... and I note that in my day job I have apps that are localized into several languages and don't have a different start_url for each language.

Agree. This is also what I'm worried about. I'm working with Mozilla's content services team, who currently targets 26 languages with their products, and they also just localize using geoip on the server (not great, but good enough in most cases).
