Flatpak-builder automatically creates them if anything writes in
/app/share/locale unless you specifically disable this with separate-
locales: false. 

If you want to install extra data to the extension, just add files to
/app/share/runtime/locale/$lang.

See for instance how the dictionaries module works in:
