Description

While the W3C Widgets specification supports localization we haven't implemented the hooks for this within Wookie. In particular, we need to consider whether to support locales on a per instance basis - e.g. to allow the container to set preferred locale when requesting a widget instance by adding a "locale" optional parameter in the REST API.

This would require a rethink of the Widget object model; currently the WidgetManifestModel supports multiple localized values and has getLocal<Property>(locale) methods, but these are compressed into singular properties when a Widget object is created from it.
