Portuguese Locale in _locales folder

[p...@avanawallet.com]

Hello, we are integrating Portuguese into our extension. Should we include just a pt folder in _locales, or do we need to distinguish pt_BR and pt_PT? I ask because the documentation (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/i18n/) seems to indicate the latter.

For other locales such as en, there are three options: en, en_US, en_GB - so one can use the top-level locale. That is not the case with pt. 

Your guidance would be appreciated.

Regards,

Patrick

Just tested this locally and verified that localized strings appeared when I had a "_locales/pt" directory in my extension and my OS was set to use pr_BR and pt_PT. While Chrome worked as expected, I did not test the Chrome Web Store side.

About the Chrome Web Store side, this is what I experienced some months ago: if you use pt instead of pt_BR or pt_PT, the Chrome Web Store ignores the translation (and doesn't show that the extension has been translated to Portuguese nor does it let you edit the listing in Portuguese), but after installing it the user will be able to use it in Portuguese.

So I'd recommend you duplicate your translation and save it in both folders (that's what I did with my extension) :)

Cheers :-)
