Add-on URL and Categories aren't localized fields (meaning, whatever you put in them applies to all locales).

Will, this is about the error messages not the fields themselves. It's not nice to have 2 error messages translated and 2 still in en-US. Either all are translated or none.

[Christopher Van Wiemeersch [:cvan]]

I don't see an issue with this error message: "Français - fr: This field is required."

The error messages should be localized based on the user's locale (in this case the locale is en-US and the error, "This field is required" is in English, as expected).

Thanks for explaining. I was expecting a French string even though I was on /en-US locale. "Francais - fr : some string here" was a bit confusing. After I changed to /fr, the message "Français · fr : Ce champ est obligatoire." made sense. So all the messages are localized as Chris already stated above.
