The following add-in manifest entry works in Outlook 2016 but not in OWA:
<bt:String id="strAbout" DefaultValue="About">
<bt:Override Locale="fr-fr" Value="À propos" />
<bt:Override Locale="nl-nl" Value="Info" />
<bt:Override Locale="de-de" Value="Über" />
<bt:Override Locale="sv-se" Value="Om" />
<bt:Override Locale="ja-jp" Value="バージョン情報" />
<bt:Override Locale="zh-tw" Value="關於" />
<bt:Override Locale="zh-cn" Value="关于" />
</bt:String>
The reason why is you select just the language in Outlook 2016 and that maps to the locale entries shown in the sample above.
In OWA however you pick the language from the various regional variants. That is you do not just pick French, you pick "French (France)", "French (Canada)", etc. In that case a single fr-fr override entry will not work.
Obviously having an entry for every combination of language and culture is less than ideal.
What can you do?
One solution that works is as shown in the following:
<bt:String id="strAbout" DefaultValue="About">
<bt:Override Locale="fr-fr" Value="À propos" />
<bt:Override Locale="nl-nl" Value="Info" />
<bt:Override Locale="de-de" Value="Über" />
<bt:Override Locale="sv-se" Value="Om" />
<bt:Override Locale="ja-jp" Value="バージョン情報" />
<bt:Override Locale="fr" Value="À propos" />
<bt:Override Locale="nl" Value="Info" />
<bt:Override Locale="de" Value="Über" />
<bt:Override Locale="sv" Value="Om" />
<bt:Override Locale="ja" Value="バージョン情報" />
<bt:Override Locale="zh-tw" Value="關於" />
<bt:Override Locale="zh-hk" Value="關於" />
<bt:Override Locale="zh-mo" Value="關於" />
<bt:Override Locale="zh-cn" Value="关于" />
<bt:Override Locale="zh-sg" Value="关于" />
</bt:String>
For example in the case of French the fr-fr entry is required for Outlook 2016, and the fr entry covers all of the variants in OWA.
The case for Chinese is special. For Chinese zh alone is never sufficient as Chinese is either traditional script (zh-tw, zh-hk and zh-mo) or simplified script (zh-cn and zh-sg). In Outlook 2016 (and 2013) you select Chinese (traditional) or Chinese (simplified) which maps in that case to zh-tw and zh-cn respectively. In OWA however you select the specific Chinese variant. Therefore to have Chinese work in both Outlook 2016 and OWA you need to have an entry for each variant.
Ideally the language+script language codes would be supported so we could use zh-hant and zh-hans for Chinese (traditional) and Chinese (simplified) respectively.
EDIT: The suggestion for Chinese-related overrides by the Outlook Web Addins Team turned out to be a necessary improvement because of Outlook for Mac. The entries become:
<bt:Override Locale="zh-tw" Value="關於" />
<bt:Override Locale="zh-hant" Value="關於" />
<bt:Override Locale="zh-cn" Value="关于" />
<bt:Override Locale="zh-hans" Value="关于" />
zh-tw and zh-cn: included for Desktop Outlook (Windows)
zh-hant and zh-hans: included for OWA and Outlook for Mac

I am developing Outlook add-in which will work with shared mailboxes.
Currently, office add-ins are not available on delegate scenarios but MS has released preview build which supports these scenarios.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/reference/manifest/supportssharedfolders
My problem is since the manifest.xml has preview elements; I can't upload the it at outlook.office365.com under my add-ins. I get following error.
This app can't be installed. The manifest file doesn't conform to the schema definition. The element 'DesktopFormFactor' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides/1.1' has invalid child element 'SupportsSharedFolders' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides/1.1'. List of possible elements expected: 'ExtensionPoint' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides/1.1'... The element 'DesktopFormFactor' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides/1.1' has invalid child element 'SupportsSharedFolders' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides/1.1'.

Anyone know any other way to deploy the add-in for users or even test it out without being to upload xml file?
Thanks in advance.

Explaining #Bubuhubu's answer, and hopefully helping other people out who hit this issue.
If you use the yo generator to initially create your manifest, as is documented in the following Microsoft how to article:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/add-ins/addin-tutorial
You will notice that the <VersionOverrides> tag is created without a version number. This version of the VersionOverrides element does NOT support the <SupportsSharedFolders> tag, but the 1.1 version DOES.
You might think that you could simply change the xmlns and type tags of the VersionOverrides tag to 1.1 to get the tag supported, but apparently a 1.1 VersionOverrides tag is not supported within an OfficeApp tag. It is however, supported as a child element of a VersionOverrides 1.0 tag.
As a result the simplest way to fix this is to take your manifest.xml from the yo generatort and find:
<VersionOverrides xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides" xsi:type="VersionOverridesV1_0">
And right after it add:
<VersionOverrides xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides/1.1" xsi:type="VersionOverridesV1_1">
So that it now looks like this:
<VersionOverrides xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides" xsi:type="VersionOverridesV1_0">
<VersionOverrides xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides/1.1" xsi:type="VersionOverridesV1_1">
Likewise, near the end-of the document, find:
</VersionOverrides>
and change it to:
</VersionOverrides>
</VersionOverrides>
You can now utilize the <SupportsSharedFolders>, e.g. Your manifest.xml should look something like the following:
. . .
<VersionOverrides xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides" xsi:type="VersionOverridesV1_0">
<VersionOverrides xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/mailappversionoverrides/1.1" xsi:type="VersionOverridesV1_1">
<Requirements>
<bt:Sets DefaultMinVersion="1.3">
<bt:Set Name="Mailbox" />
</bt:Sets>
</Requirements>
<Hosts>
<Host xsi:type="MailHost">
<DesktopFormFactor>
<SupportsSharedFolders>true</SupportsSharedFolders>
. . .
</VersionOverrides>
</VersionOverrides>
</OfficeApp>
Hopefully this helps save someone some time.
BTW, apparently when you add a plugin in Outlook it can take up to 60 seconds for it to show up. As a result if you don't see your icon immediately, don't assume at first that it didn't work (Like I originally did).
I've experienced the same issue today. I was able to solve it by moving the
SupportsSharedFolders tag to the beginning of the DesktopFormFactor tag.
Instead of this:
...
<DesktopFormFactor>
<!-- Location of the Functions that UI-less buttons can trigger (ExecuteFunction Actions). -->
<FunctionFile resid="functionFile" />
<SupportsSharedFolders>true</SupportsSharedFolders>
<!-- Message Read -->
...
it should look like this
...
<DesktopFormFactor>
<SupportsSharedFolders>true</SupportsSharedFolders>
<!-- Location of the Functions that UI-less buttons can trigger (ExecuteFunction Actions). -->
<FunctionFile resid="functionFile" />
<!-- Message Read -->
...

I'm a little stump with what's wrong with my manifest that my add-in won't load on the web version of Outlook 365. It loads just fine on the native iOS outlook and on desktop web browsers in outlook.office365.com. I followed the samples provided on how to Add MobileFormFactor, but can't get the icon to appear when I read an email.
My manifest validator says i'm ok so far.

Try adding the following at the end of your <Form> element:
<TabletSettings>
<SourceLocation DefaultValue="https://dev2.practicepanther.com/outlook" />
<RequestedHeight>250</RequestedHeight>
</TabletSettings>
<PhoneSettings>

Does that help?
I am trying to create a very simple web outlook add-ins (Using JavaScript + HTML5 + CSS). This is the same add-in described in the tutorial.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/add-ins/quick-start?tabs=visual-studio
I am able to create the add-in and add it to Outlook 2016 web client. When I open the outlook web client and use the add-in, it works perfectly.
Now I am trying to add same add-in to Outlook 2016 client installed on Windows and MAC. On both the machines when I search and add the add-in (with add from file option), it gets added successfully. I get the “installed successfully “message. I even see it under “my add-ins” option. But it does not show up in the toolbar. When I again open the store and check the “my add-in” list, the add-in is disappeared form the list. This means it never got installed correctly.
Since I am new to this, I am not able to determine the reason or debug the issue. Is there any change I need to do to manifest file? Currently I am using the same manifest file for web client, windows and mac based client. Also how do I debug this?
Update:
Here is the manifest file I am using for registering add-in in web client. I am using the same file for windows and mac clients. Is the manifest file different?

When registering the add-in from desktop client, I am getting following certificate error:
But when I register it from web client it does not give me this error, even though the web server is same.
We have an Outlook add-in which uses add-in commands that works great in Outlook 2016 for Windows and OWA but has a problem in Outlook 2016 for Mac with menu type controls on the main Outlook Home TAB (MessageReadCommandSurface). For this type of add-in command the menu becomes broken in that you cannot select items past the first two items on the list.
As you cursor down the menu each button is selected but once you get to the 3rd item the selection disappears and you cannot activate any buttons. If you cursor up past the top of the menu you regain selectability for the top two items, but if you cursor down again the problem returns. Even menus with 2 items have a problem as if you move the cursor down past the bottom of the list the menu becomes inactive until you move the cursor up past the top and back down.
In case it was something we did I tried creating a super trimmed-down manifest with a simple task pane triggered from its two buttons:
<DesktopFormFactor>
<FunctionFile resid="functionFile" />
<ExtensionPoint xsi:type="MessageReadCommandSurface">
<OfficeTab id="TabDefault">
<Group id="group1">
<Label resid="strProdGroupName" />

</Action>

</Items>
</Control>
</Group>
</OfficeTab>
</ExtensionPoint>
</DesktopFormFactor>
This simple menu reproduced the issue.
Some details:
The menu works fine if you pop out the email and use the menu from the email's Message TAB.
You have to open a task pane from the menu twice to trigger the issue.
Popping out an email then closing it restores the menu.
Issue does not occur in Outlook for Windows or OWA.
I realize this is a weird issue and might be something we are doing wrong, but testing suggests it isn't something we are doing.
Questions:
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
It would be ideal to try a different add-in which uses an add-in command menu on the MessageReadCommandSurface. Does anyone know of an Outlook add-in with such a menu that we can try? Maybe something free from the Store?
Any suggestions what we can try to nail down this issue?
Does anyone know of a known issues list for office.js add-ins running under Outlook for Mac?
Thanks
Thanks for letting us know.
Will you be able to share the outlook and OS version?
Also, are you able to repro it every time or is the issue intermittent?
I've created a rptdesign file using BIRT IDE. This file contents are in Arial font, when I export the report to PDF in windows it works fine.
I uses the default viewerServlet to create reports. But when I moved the report to a linux system, all contents in the report was displayed in Times New Roman font instead of Arial in th PDF file.
Then I copied the Arial.ttf file to /var/font/truetype and added the following line to platform/plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.fonts_2.3.2.r232_20090202/fontsConfig.xml
<font-paths>
---------------
---------------
---------------
<path path="/var/font/truetype" />
</font-paths>
After adding this line all contents are coming in Arial font, but the contents which are bold appears to compressed and look very ugly.
Has anyone faced this problem and has any solution?
Thank you
Regards,
Arun

Try explicitly stating your path to the font like this:
<font-paths>
<path path="/var/font/truetype/arial.ttf" />
</font-paths>
Setting this property (font-paths) cause the default fonts directory to be ignored in favor of only the paths in this set. This will make Arial the only available font for your PDF. To include the default fonts (TNR, Courier, etc...) add the default path (org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.fonts) under the eclipse plug-ins to you font-paths entries as well.
You can also choose to just add Arial.ttf to the default directory and REMOVE ALL ENTRIES from font-paths and pick up the Arial type that way. Either way should work.
Good Luck.
Can any one tell me if there is any
issue with Arial font in linux, if the
characters are set as bold
Everything works fine for us. Below is my patch for fontsConfig.xml:
<font-aliases>
<mapping name="sans-serif" font-family="Arial" />
...
</font-aliases>
<font-paths>
<path path="fonts"/>
</font-paths>
Put in fonts folder arial.ttf and arial.xml files.
I spent hours searching for this:
export BIRT_FONT_PATH=/usr/share/fonts/truetype
Execute this and done!
Then I copied the Arial.ttf file to /var/font/truetype
Arial.ttf only contains the plain version of the font.
For bold, italic and italic-bold there are different files (arialbd.ttf etc).
Just copy these, too.
