> Are categories supposed to be like programmatic identifiers, so "sports" would be used across all languages and be properly translated by stores? Or should that also be localized?
@mgiuca When I initially conceived of `categories`, I included translations in the example array. I can't find the issue right now, but I demonstrated it in [this example](https://gist.github.com/aarongustafson/e4465b97349bd0707866772451dd7c3a#file-category-manifest-json):
```json
{
"name": "Gojiro",
"description": "Gojiro, a freak mutation with a cynical worldview, suffers the pain of solitude as well as several maladies experienced by entertainers, including drug abuse and suicidal tendencies.",
"icons": [{
"src": "images/icon.png",
"sizes": "192x192"
}],
"categories": ["books", "fiction", "science fiction & fantasy", "kaiju", "怪獣"]
}
```
Here was [my write up from when it landed](https://www.aaron-gustafson.com/notebook/categories-land-in-the-web-app-manifest) too.
