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

The state of this is:

1. The [forthcoming `translations` member](https://github.com/WICG/manifest-incubations/blob/gh-pages/translations-explainer.md) will allow for individual member values (including direction) to be overwritten for individual language codes.
2. For shifts in natural language/direction within a string, we’re in the same boat as HTML attributes (and ECMA `String`) in that we are not able to support that at present beyond what’s possible in UTF-8 with [Unicode BiDi support](https://unicode.org/reports/tr9/). Some higher-level approach for managing that will be necessary first and then we can reference that. This is not a problem the Web Apps team is scoped to solve, it’s something someone’s text editor should address.
