Locale Manifest Inspector
Paste a manifest with _localized fields, enter a BCP-47 locale tag, and see which values the browser would resolve — including language subtag fallback.
manifest.json
Resolve for locale
// Browser resolution algorithm (simplified):
// 1. Try exact tag: manifest.name_localized["ja-JP"]
// 2. Try language subtag: manifest.name_localized["ja"]
// 3. Fall back to manifest.name (default)
function resolveManifestField(manifest, field, locale) {
const locKey = field + '_localized';
const map = manifest[locKey];
if (!map) return { value: manifest[field], source: 'default' };
const exact = map[locale];
if (exact) return { value: extractVal(exact), source: 'exact' };
const lang = locale.split('-')[0];
const langMatch = map[lang];
if (langMatch) return { value: extractVal(langMatch), source: 'fallback' };
return { value: manifest[field], source: 'default' };
}
