Using IndexedDB - Web APIs

... idbindex has also had new properties added to it to specify if it has a locale specified, and what it is: locale (returns the locale if any, or null if none is specified) and isautolocale (returns true if the index was created with an auto locale, meaning that the platform's default locale is used, false otherwise.) note: this feature is currently hidden behind a flag — to enable it and experiment, go to about:config and enable dom.indexeddb.experimental.

Localizing extension metadata on addons.mozilla.org
in step 2, you'll be asked to provide the attributes listed above in the add-on's default locale (selected in step 1).
...any field that is blank will just show up in the default locale.
Patching a Localization
whenever you see gl in blue text, replace it with the locale code for your language.
... cd ~/localization-workdir clone the localization repository for your locale and for the version you want to patch: hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n/mozilla-aurora/gl now that you have the code and your working directory, edit the dtd and properties files to make your necessary changes.
Translation phase
if your locale has an hg repository hosted on the mozilla servers, you can track your localization's current progress by visiting the l10n dashboards.
...this is where you research and select the search plugins, content and protocol handlers, bookmarks, and links to recommended sites on the in-product pages that your locale's users will find in their mozilla products.
Creating localizable web content
per-locale customizations check if there are alternative links for localized pages (e.g., links to mdn, addons.mozilla.org, or other external resources, are there translated equivalents we can use).
... images check that images are not going to be a problem for the audience (cultural references, positionning, mirroring for rtl, text in images...) and spot what sizes/margins can be tweaked by css or have to be fixed for all locales but english don't use text in icons images 1&2.
Writing localizable code
use a good chrome directory structure for a particular module mod, a target path jar:ab-cd.jar!/locale/ab-cd/mod/foo.dtd has been widely tested and is a good place for your files referenced as chrome://mod/locale/foo.dtd.
...l10n-impact is any change to mozilla/@mod@/locales; localizers find out if they have to catch up on changes by doing bonsai queries, just as everybody else does.

<input type="date"> - HTML: Hypertext Markup Language
WebHTMLElementinputdate
you can set a default value for the input with a date inside the value attribute, like so: <input type="date" value="2017-06-01"> the displayed date format will differ from the actual value — the displayed date is formatted based on the locale of the user's browser, but the parsed value is always formatted yyyy-mm-dd.
... using date inputs date inputs sound convenient — they provide an easy interface for choosing dates, and they normalize the data format sent to the server regardless of the user's locale.
<input type="month"> - HTML: Hypertext Markup Language
WebHTMLElementinputmonth
you can set a default value for the input control by including a month and year inside the value attribute, like so: <label for="bday-month">what month were you born in?</label> <input id="bday-month" type="month" name="bday-month" value="2017-06"> one thing to note is that the displayed date format differs from the actual value; most user agents display the month and year in a locale-appropriate form, based on the set locale of the user's operating system, whereas the date value is always formatted yyyy-mm.
