<div dir="ltr">Not sure where to put properties files (both reference and translated). Perhaps we could just follow mozilla and have them in the locales/ directory. It's a bit too similar to locale, which we are using to generate translations for native activities but it shouldn't be too confusing since for web activities that directory shouldn't exist.<br>
