Depending on the way you translated them before, following closely English or using your own style, you might be able to reuse the existing translations.<\/p>\n<p>Changeset: <a href=\"https:\/\/hg.mozilla.org\/releases\/mozilla-aurora\/rev\/86e55de5106e\">https:\/\/hg.mozilla.org\/releases\/mozilla-aurora\/rev\/86e55de5106e<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Permission dialogs (sharing microphone, camera, location, etc.) have been redesigned to have a consistent layout and message. The result is that there are about 50 new strings to translate, in \/browser and \/toolkit (for password dialogs). You can use <a href=\"http:\/\/permission.site\/\">this website<\/a> to test most permission dialogs.<\/p>\n<p>Changeset: <a href=\"https:\/\/hg.mozilla.org\/releases\/mozilla-aurora\/rev\/d229169c60ea\">https:\/\/hg.mozilla.org\/releases\/mozilla-aurora\/rev\/d229169c60ea<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>There are several new strings related to managing WebExtensions-based add-ons. To give you an idea, the permission system is similar to the one available in a mobile OS, and you need to review them before installing or updating add-ons:<\/p>\n<p>Changeset: <a href=\"https:\/\/hg.mozilla.org\/releases\/mozilla-aurora\/rev\/772c8d7a210c\">https:\/\/hg.mozilla.org\/releases\/mozilla-aurora\/rev\/772c8d7a210c<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>A few strings changed without a new ID to fix the use of \u201clogin\u201d (noun) instead of \u201clog in\u201d (verb). They will show up as fuzzy in Pootle, but you should be able to confirm your existing translation<\/p>\n<p>Changeset: <a href=\"https:\/\/hg.mozilla.org\/releases\/mozilla-aurora\/rev\/31cb40156b9d\">https:\/\/hg.mozilla.org\/releases\/mozilla-aurora\/rev\/31cb40156b9d<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Mobile<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s a new string that is missing a comment (will be fixed, but not in time for this aurora cycle): \u201cOpen tabs\u201d in pref_private_data_openTabs is a preference to clear open tabs, so \u201cOpen\u201d is an adjective in this context, not a verb.<\/p>\n<p>Changeset: <a href=\"https:\/\/hg.mozilla.org\/releases\/mozilla-aurora\/rev\/6dad16396f74\">https:\/\/hg.mozilla.org\/releases\/mozilla-aurora\/rev\/6dad16396f74<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Devtools<\/h3>\n<p>Localization is still broken for Debugger. In addition to that, a problematic changeset landed at the very end of the cycle: 7 strings changed without a new ID, and a few of them have issues (no plural form, one unclear). All issues should be fixed in the next Aurora cycle (this version of Debugger is enabled by default only on Nightly and Developer Edition).<\/p>\n<p>Changeset: <a href=\"https:\/\/hg.mozilla.org\/releases\/mozilla-aurora\/diff\/2301f25d1595\/devtools\/client\/locales\/en-US\/debugger.properties\">https:\/\/hg.mozilla.org\/releases\/mozilla-aurora\/diff\/2301f25d1595\/devtools\/client\/locales\/en-US\/debugger.properties<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>New Languages<\/h2>\n<p>New locales reached release with Firefox 51:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Georgian (ka) and Kabyle (kab) in Firefox desktop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Congratulation to all the teams involved!
