Read <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/2017\/07\/24\/making-change-with-pootle\/\">this blog post<\/a> if you\u2019re interested in more details.<\/p>\n<h2>New content and projects<\/h2>\n<h3>What\u2019s new or coming up in Firefox desktop<\/h3>\n<p>New content to localize for Firefox desktop is mostly focusing around two areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Onboarding experience (tour and in-product notifications).<\/li>\n<li>Preferences reorganization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While the Onboarding experience will be an ongoing effort, with content updates between versions of Firefox, the reorganization of preferences should be mostly completed (and it was a <a href=\"https:\/\/bugzilla.mozilla.org\/show_bug.cgi?id=1365133\">complex problem<\/a> to solve). Unfortunately, another <a href=\"https:\/\/hg.mozilla.org\/mozilla-central\/rev\/0f6f2d7421e6\">consistent change<\/a> landed right before merge day for preferences, finally bringing some terminology consistency (website vs site).<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, still a lot of visible changes in the UI are happening in Firefox, as part of the ongoing <a href=\"https:\/\/dolske.wordpress.com\/category\/photonupdate\/\">Photon<\/a> project.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pontoon.mozilla.org\/projects\/activity-stream-new-tab\/\">Activity Stream<\/a> (the redesigned about:newtab) is currently scheduled to ship in Firefox 57, with some locales tested as an experiment in 56 (A\/B study), while <a href=\"https:\/\/pontoon.mozilla.org\/projects\/firefox-screenshots\/\">Firefox Screenshots<\/a> is still scheduled to ship with Firefox 55 for all locales (staged rollout during August, with an increasing number of users receiving the feature over time).<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s new or coming up in Test Pilot<\/h3>\n<p>Test Pilot launched 3 new experiments, two of them are localizable in Pontoon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pontoon.mozilla.org\/projects\/test-pilot-notes\/\">Notes<\/a> adds a simple one-page notepad in Firefox sidebar, to store notes while browsing the web.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pontoon.mozilla.org\/projects\/test-pilot-firefox-send\/\">Firefox Send<\/a>, on the other hand, is the first stand-alone web service distributed as part of Test Pilot: it&#8217;s a website where you can upload a file, encrypt it and obtain a link to share it. Once the file has been downloaded (or within 24 hours), it gets removed from the server. Basically, a one-time, secure file sharing website that will work with any browser, not just Firefox.<\/p>\n<p>The third project, currently available only for English, is called Voice Fill, and lets you talk with search engines (Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo), using AI for speech recognition.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s new or coming up in mobile<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Greek (el) and Lao (lo) are reaching release version of Firefox for Android with Firefox 55 release (today is merge day, next week is the launch). Congratulations! You can <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox\">download Firefox for Android here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Belarusian (be) and Zapoteco (zam) are now shipping in the Play Store! They\u2019ll reach release with Firefox for Android 56. Congratulations! Try them out <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta\">on Beta now<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>More than 1,000,000 Focus for Android downloads! Impressive! If you still haven\u2019t tried it out, <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=org.mozilla.focus\">come get it here!<\/a><\/li>\n<li>We have 12 new locales ready to go for Focus iOS v3.4! Afrikaans (af), Danish (da), Greek (el), Spanish from Mexico (es-MX), Hindi (hi-IN), Malay (ms), Romanian (ro), Tamil (ta), Telugu (te), Tagalog (tl), Urdu (ur), and Uzbek (uz). Congratulations! You can try out <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/firefox-focus-the-privacy-browser\/id1055677337?mt=8\">Focus for iOS here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>We are now moving to a bi-weekly cadence for both Focus projects. Check out what that means for l10n by looking at the <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Mobile\/Focus\/iOS\/Train_Schedule\">Focus iOS schedule here<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Mobile\/Focus\/Android\/Train_Schedule\">Focus Android schedule here<\/a>. In fact, our releases will be schedule driven rather than dictated by feature development progress. Both features and fixes will be allocated to the next available release upon completion. This will give us the ability to respond much more quickly to bug reports and user feedback.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What\u2019s new or coming up in web projects<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Mozilla.org continues its makeover to position for the new Firefox launch in autumn with new content and the new templates. Since our last report, nine web pages appeared on your web project dashboard. We have a few more in the work, so stay tuned. Keep an eye on the replacement pages and the web dashboard for pending projects.<\/li>\n<li>Germany and Taiwan are two of the focused markets for the Firefox campaigns. The communities have more content than others to localize. Additionally, they are adjusting their localization process in order to include multiple parties in this collaborative effort.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/snippets.mozilla.com\/\">Snippets<\/a>: The August campaign focuses on <a href=\"https:\/\/testpilot.firefox.com\/experiments\">Test Pilot<\/a>, in time for the rollout of new features.<\/li>\n<li>Community Participation Guide is localized in 6 locales: de, es, fr, hi-IN, pt-BR and zh-TW. We are working on an amendment. These communities will need to review the update once the updates are localized.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/mozilla\/legal-docs\/tree\/master\/firefox_privacy_notice\">Firefox Privacy Notice<\/a> has been revised continuously in the last few months. The document is localized in select locales. If your community has the bandwidth and\/or expert knowledge in legal language, please review the document.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What\u2019s new or coming up in Foundation projects<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Changecopyright.org will get a content update over the summer! The website will get a clear timeline of events for the Copyright reform and it should be easier to take action. We are also investigating the addition of a call tool so that people can directly call their MEPs to be real copyfighters, so stay tuned!<\/li>\n<li>The IoT survey has been localized in de, es, fr, it, pt-BR and we\u2019re launching it very soon! We\u2019re supporting a few more locales than with the previous survey, and are expecting to get even more people taking it! &#x1f4aa;<\/li>\n<li>Fundraising update: we\u2019re looking into supporting <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Single_Euro_Payments_Area\">SEPA transfers<\/a>! It\u2019s a very long process due to bank regulations, and we can\u2019t guarantee anything yet, but we\u2019re trying hard to get it set up this year. This means your contributions will help us raise even more money to create an Open Internet movement, as wire transfers are the #1 request from European people to our donor support team. Oh, and we\u2019re supporting a few more currencies, <a href=\"https:\/\/donate.mozilla.org\/\">check it out<\/a>!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What\u2019s new or coming up in Pontoon<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Terminology management (WIP) is coming quickly to Pontoon, starting with terminology suggestions in translate view.
