The following string is hardcoded in enlish in about:debugging while the rest of the UI is localized.

http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/f1472e5b57fea8d4a7bbdd81c44e46958fe3c1ce/devtools/client/aboutdebugging/components/addons/install-error.js#21

This string is displayed when an addon fails to install via about:debugging.
Alex, this string was introduced in Bug 1231128. Looking at the bug I don't see localization being mentioned, but maybe it was intentional to keep the string in english since the error message displayed right after is in english?

I guess we should either add a comment to make it explicit, or localize the string. What do you think?

Not translating it wasn't intentional.
Either way, I don't have any strong opinion on this.

Don't worry I'm just doing a mass cleanup of old needinfos :)

Thanks Julian.

May be the localization key would be better with singular: addonInstallError?
