i18n support for composer.json

[dominikzogg]

We would like to add i18n support for composer.json

"i18n": {
      "en": {
        "name": "The successor of Catalog for Contao Open Source CMS",
        "description": "METAMODELS ARE THE REPLACEMENT FOR THE FAMOUS CATALOG EXTENSION FOR CONTAO WITH FOCUS ON FLEXIBILITY AND EXTENDABILITY.",
        "screenshot": [
          "http://now.metamodel.me/tl_files/standard/layout/images/metamodels.png",
          "http://de.contaowiki.org/images/de/thumb/6/6b/MetaModels_Backend_System.png/800px-MetaModels_Backend_System.png",

        ]
      },
      "de_DE": {
        "name": "Nachfolger des Catalog für das Contao Open Source CMS.",
        "description": "now metamodel me :-)",
        "screenshot": "http://now.metamodel.me/tl_files/standard/layout/images/metamodels.png"
      },
      "de_CH": {

      }
    },

Seconded, locale handling should be possible somehow to allow a better integration into CMS etc.

[Seldaek]

You can very well put this all in "extra". I doubt there is much point in standardizing this stuff because IMO this all should be in english, but I can see the benefit for CMS plugins to be more end-user friendly.

[Seldaek]

What we could have is some common extra patterns in the composer docs so that people don't reinvent it in different ways, but I don't think composer needs to be aware of all this.

[dominikzogg]

@Seldaek sounds good to me

[discordier]

Same for me.
So we will document them and add them as PR to https://github.com/composer/composer/blob/master/doc/07-common-extra.md and link to it from https://github.com/composer/composer/blob/master/doc/04-schema.md#extra?

Or can anyone come up with a better name?

[Seldaek]

I would maybe put that in doc/articles/ rather, because it's more "random" knowledge than really part of the main docs.

[discordier]

So we go for doc/articles/well-known-extra.mdbut linked to from 04-schema.md#extra?

[Seldaek]

Sounds good to me.

[discordier]

As Picard said: "make it so!" :)

[Seldaek]

Closing the issue to clean up, but feel free to send a doc PR still :)
