While work has been opened up to only a small subset of locales, you can expect us to add more progressively, quite soon.

Also open to only a subset of locales, we expect to be able to add more locales once the in-app locale switcher is in place.

The syntax is now stable. Thanks to everyone who shared their feedback about Fluent in the past; you have made Fluent better for everyone. We published a <a href=\"https:\/\/hacks.mozilla.org\/2019\/04\/fluent-1-0-a-localization-system-for-natural-sounding-translations\/\">blog post on Mozilla Hacks<\/a> with more details about this release and about Fluent in general.<\/p>\n<p>Fluent is already <a href=\"http:\/\/arewefluentyet.com\/\">used in over 3000 messages in Firefox<\/a>, as well as in Firefox Send and Common Voice. If you localize these projects, chances are you already localized Fluent messages. Thanks to the efforts of Matja\u017e and Adrian, Fluent is <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/2019\/04\/11\/implementing-fluent-in-a-localization-tool\/\">already well-supported in Pontoon<\/a>. We continue to improve the Fluent experience in Pontoon and we\u2019re open to your feedback about how to make it best-in-class.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about the Fluent Syntax on the <a href=\"http:\/\/projectfluent.org\/\">project\u2019s website<\/a>, through the <a href=\"http:\/\/projectfluent.org\/fluent\/guide\">Syntax Guide<\/a>, and in the <a href=\"https:\/\/mozilla-l10n.github.io\/localizer-documentation\/tools\/fluent\/\">Mozilla localizer documentation<\/a>.
