How i can translate the title of an addon ?

For example "Xbmc.org add-ons" i would like to translate to ma language.

This text is in the "name" section. I tried adding a <title> section to the addon.xml, but it does not appear anywhere.

Could someone help please ?

TIA, Alan

Thanks for the info.

In this case wouldn't it be a good idea to name the repo just simply "xbmc.org"
That way it is more general. I translated all "add-on" texts in the strings.xml and addon.xml files so here it looks strange in a different language.

Just an idea.

Thanks anyway.
