These are the key dates for the next cycle:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>January 28: Nightly will be bumped to version 67.<\/li>\n<li>February 26: deadline to ship updates to Beta (Firefox 66).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As of January, localization of the Pocket add-on has moved back into the Firefox main project. That\u2019s a positive change for localization, since it gives us a clearer schedule for updates, while before they were complex and sparse. All existing translations from the stand-alone process were imported into Mercurial repositories (and Pontoon).<\/p>\n<p>In terms of prioritization, there are a couple of features to keep an eye on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nightly.mozilla.org\/2019\/01\/14\/moving-to-a-profile-per-install-architecture\/\">Profile per installation<\/a>: with Firefox 67, Firefox will begin using a dedicated profile for each Firefox version (including Nightly, Beta, Developer Edition, and ESR). This will make Firefox more stable when switching between versions on the same computer and will also allow you to run different Firefox installations at the same time. This introduces a set of dialogs and web pages to warn the user about the change, and explain how to sync data between profiles. Unlike other features, this targets all versions, but Nightly users in particular, since they are more likely to have multiple profiles according to Telemetry data. That\u2019s a good reason to prioritize these strings.<\/li>\n<li>Security error pages: nothing is more frustrating than being unable to reach a website because of certificate issues. There are a lot of experiments happening around these pages and the associated user experience, both in Beta and Release, so it\u2019s important to prioritize translations for these strings (they\u2019re typically in netError.dtd).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s new or coming up in Test Pilot<\/h3>\n<p>As explained in <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blog\/2019\/01\/15\/evolving-firefoxs-culture-of-experimentation-a-thank-you-from-the-test-pilot-program\/\">this blog post<\/a>, Test Pilot is reaching its end of life. The website localization has been updated in Pontoon to include messages around this change, while other experiments (Send, Monitor) will continue to exist as stand-alone projects. Screenshots is also going to see changes in the upcoming days, mostly on the server side of the project.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s new or coming up in mobile<\/h3>\n<p>Just like for Firefox desktop, the last day to get in localizations for Fennec 65 was Tuesday, Jan 15. Please see the desktop section above for more details.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox iOS v15 localization deadline was Friday, January 11. The app should be released to everyone by Jan 29th, after a phased roll-out. This time around we\u2019ve added seven new locales: Angika, Burmese, Corsican, Javanese, Nepali, Norwegian Bokm\u00e5l and Sundanese. This means that we\u2019re currently shipping 87 locales out of the 88 that are being localized &#8211; which is twice as more than when we first shipped the app. Congrats to all the voluntary localizers involved in this effort over the years!<\/p>\n<p>And stay tuned for an update on the upcoming v16 l10n timeline soon.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re also still working with Lockbox Android team in order to get the project plugged in to Pontoon, and you can expect to see something come up in the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox Reality project is going to be available and open for localization very soon too. We\u2019re working out the specifics right now, and the timeline will be shared very soon and once everything is ironed out.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s new or coming up in web projects<\/h3>\n<p>Mozilla.org has a few updates.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Navigation bar: The new navigation.lang file contains strings for the redesigned navigation bar. When the language completion rate reaches 80%+, the new layout will be switched on. Try to get your locale completed by the time it is switched over.<\/li>\n<li>Content Blocking Tour with updated UIs will go live on 29 Jan. Catch up all the updates by completing the firefox\/tracking-protection-tour.lang file before then.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What\u2019s new or coming up in Foundation projects<\/h3>\n<p>Mozilla\u2019s big end-of-year push for donations has passed, and thanks in no small part to your efforts, the Foundation\u2019s financial situation is in a much better shape for this year to pick up the fight where they left it before the break. Thank you all for your help!<\/p>\n<p>In these first days of 2019, the fundraising team takes the opportunity of the quiet time to modernize the donation receipts with a better email sent to donors and migrate the receipts to the same infrastructure used to send Mozilla &amp; Firefox newsletters. Content for the new receipts should be exposed in the Fundraising project by the end of the month for the 10-15 locales with the most donations in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The Advocacy team is still working on the misinfo campaign in Europe, with a first survey coming up to be sent to the people subscribed to the Mozilla newsletter, to get a flavor of where opinion lies with their attitudes to misinformation at the moment. Next steps will include launching a campaign about political ads ahead of the EU elections then promote anti-disinformation tools. Let\u2019s do this!<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s new or coming up in Support<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Updates to locales visible (and available) on the Support site.
