I mentioned this in the Google Groups some time ago, but thought it would be better to submit it here. Developers should be able to localize package.json, e.g. for localizing preferences.

Siavash, it looks like, the best way to get some traction from me is to subscribe to my twitter feed ;) I ended up on you blog post here: http://potatozone.com/en/2012/02/what-users-should-know-about-jetpack-add-ons/ And its quite unfortunate experience, let's try to improve it!

I changed the focus of this bug to localize preferences stuff, as we already have bug 661083 opened to localize other package.json fields.

Siavash, It would be really cool if you can take a look at this and confirm that you are now able to locale some of your addons.

I tested it on a simple add-on, then tried it on one of my add-ons and it works. I noticed that if I use a locale that add-on doesn't support, it uses en-US and if en-US localization doesn't exist, it uses the values from package.json. Does this mean that if the current Firefox's locale isn't supported by add-on, values from package.json will be used?

Can you take a look at bug 779790 and see if it would address what you feel like being unclear/wrong here?
