How Firefox extension i18n works
Firefox WebExtensions use the same messages.json format under _locales/. The "default_locale" field in manifest.json is required whenever the _locales/ directory exists — omitting it causes the add-on to be rejected. The browser.i18n API reads locale strings at runtime, with full support for $PLACEHOLDER$ substitution.

"default_locale"AMO (addons.mozilla.org) displays your add-on name and description in the reviewer's locale when _locales/ is present. Consistent translations across all locales improve store approval rates.
Why not just use generic tools?
General-purpose translation tools don't understand Firefox add-on format.
