List the files in your unpacked extension directory, as well as the content of manifest.json.

Dear Phistuck,

Thank you for your reply . I found the mistakes that I have done while loading my extension . The above mentioned error is due to the extension of manifest file is like "manifest.json.txt". Now I have developed and uploaded that extension as well . 

My extension is Google Tamil News . I have selected the language Tamil (தமிழ்) when I upload and publish into the gallery . But Now If I select the the same language in the extension gallery on web, My extension Google Tamil News is not listed , in turn , its listed in all language gallery. 

Since only Tamil known people will use this extension , I should listed this gallery in the specific language. Please help me to do so .

Regards,
Rajkumar

Make sure the manifest.json file is UTF-8 encoded. ANSI and other character encoded files do not work.

You can use whatever language and locale you want in the feed.html and any other html file, as long as the manifest file is encoded in Unicode. The manifest file contains only latin characters, so there is no problem for it to be in UTF-8. The only limitation is that the name and description will be in English. Encode your background page and/or options page in the usual character encoding for your country and you should be good to go.

I have placed my manifest file contents. Please check it out .

{

  "name": "Google Tamil News",

  "version": "1.1.1",

  "description": "Displays the first 5 items from the 'Tamil Google News - top news' RSS feed in a popup.",

  "icons": { "128": "news_icon.png" },

  "browser_action": {

    "default_title": "Google News",

  "default_locale": "ta" ,   "default_icon": "news_action.png",

    "popup": "feed.html"

  },

  "permissions": [

    "tabs",

    "http://news.google.com/*"

  ]

}

Is this prevent my extension from other language list in the gallery ?

how to solve this please help

You can search crbug.com for an existing issue and star it. If you cannot find one, file a new issue using the "New issue" link on the same page.

Please, do not add a "+1" or "Me too" or "Confirmed" (or similar) comment. It just wastes the time of Chrome engineers and sends unnecessary e-mails to all of the people who starred the issue.

You can reply with a link to the found or created issue and might get triaged (and fixed) faster.

Thank you.
