Details

I uploaded a version of my add-on (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/belgium-eid/) which had a typo in _locales/fr/messages.json: for one message it used "mssage" as the object key, rather than the correct "message". This caused a failure to install. 17:12 < wouter> it's a typo, it says "mssage" rather than "message" 17:12 < wouter> whoops 17:12 <@andym> i'm sad this is an installation error [...] 17:13 < freaktechnik> as in, should be a linter error? 17:14 <@andym> yeah it should be a linter error, but ideally it should still install successfully

For what it's worth, I think an invalid translation *should* cause a failure to install. Otherwise, it becomes way too easy to ship invalid add-ons.
