Hello localizers!
Thank you all for your great work with Firefox 23 and 24. Here’s an outline of what is currently in Aurora this cycle and what we accomplished together last cycle:
This cycle (5 August – 16 September)
Key dates include:
– Beta sign offs are due before 9 September.
– Aurora sign offs are due before 16 September.
– Firefox 24 releases 17 September.
Features:
– 150 new strings were added to Aurora desktop, 95 for Aurora mobile
– Many of the new desktop strings cover additions to devtools.
– The mobile strings cover the new guest mode being added to Firefox for Android (see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Projects/Guest_browsing ) for more details.
Notes:
Please remember that sign offs are a critical piece to the cycle and mean that you approve and can vouch for the work you’re submitting for shipment.
Last cycle (May 14th – June 24th)
Noteworthy accomplishments:
– 71% of all locales shipped Firefox 23 on desktop updates on time. Sadly, that is a 7% decrease from last cycle but the 71% shipped still has the potential to impact, literally, millions of users and deserves to be congratulated!
– Localizations of Firefox OS have begun shipping! Congratulations to all involved.
– Between 22 & 23, three new locales were added to Firefox for Android: Slovak (sk), Turkish (tr), and Hungarian (hu)! Congratulations!
As always, thank you all for your efforts! You’re fantastic and we certainly appreciate you very much!
