Re: [w3c/manifest] multiple natural language text fields share language/direction [I18N] (#968)

According to my understanding (please correct me if I'm wrong):

* "string replacement" refers to something like the proposal in https://github.com/w3c/manifest/issues/211 , and
* "maintaining separate translation files" refers to something like [Chrome extensions](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/i18n/), which creates a separate file/directory for each supported language or locale.

Both approaches intend to solve the problem of translation/localization, not the problem of the language and direction metadata of the strings itself. There is no way to override the language and direction for a specific natural language text field. See the "String metadata" part of https://github.com/w3c/miniapp-manifest/pull/12#issuecomment-811624265 .
