Chrome extension description in web store

Question

there is something that i can't figure out about the description of a chrome extension.
it is mentioned here that the description in the manifest should only contain plain string with less than 32 characters but i want to have a longer description for my extension as anyone did on the Chrome Web Store. So i provided a longer description on the dashboard but i still can see the short one on the Web Store. It seems like the description on i set on the dashboard page is never used.

1) Can anyone tell me how to set a long description for my extension ?

The second problem is that i wan to internationalize that description and so far i only use the i18n mechanism on the description set in the manifest file.

2) Supposing i am able to set a long description that is displayed on the Chrome Web Store, how can i make it available for different languages ?

Thanks

Answer 1

As mentioned, the long description is part of the Webstore listing.

Look at this guide for applying i18n for your item.

Specifically, as long as your webstore item is i18n-enabled, the detailed description can be edited for all supported languages from the "Edit item" page. You will see a selector at the top:

Answer 2

The long description gets entered when publishing the extension, not in the manifest.
