New content and projects<\/h2>\nWhat\u2019s new or coming up in Firefox desktop<\/h3>\n
As anticipated in previous reports<\/a>, the release cycles are getting progressively shorter, in order to reach a consistent 4 weeks length in the first half of 2020.<\/p>\n Firefox 71 will be released next week, on December 3rd. At that point Firefox 72 will move to beta, and the deadline to ship updates for that version will be on December 24th<\/b>.<\/p>\n Firefox 71 will ship with 3 new languages: Catalan (Valencian) (ca-valencia)<\/a>, Tagalog (tl)<\/a>, and Triqui (trs)<\/a>.<\/p>\n Compared to Firefox 70, the last release has been relatively light in terms of new strings to translate. That\u2019s a great time to do a full test<\/a> of your localization, to make sure everything works as expected, in particular for new users switching \u2013 or coming back \u2013 to Firefox.<\/p>\n As most of you know, Fenix (Firefox Preview) has been an ongoing and ever evolving priority at Mozilla, as we work on creating the best Android mobile browser yet. The transition to Fenix is amplifying as we see its positive impact grow among our users. Be ready for something big early 2020, as our efforts are ramping up dramatically.<\/p>\n If you are interested in localizing Fenix, please reach out to delphine<\/a> so she can get things going (please note there is not yet a locale-switcher in place, so you should be sure your locale is supported by Android system).<\/p>\n Talking about in-app locale switcher for Fenix, work is currently happening on that front and should be ready by the beginning of next year. Which means we will be able to support all locales, independently of what Android system and\/or carriers have to offer. This will help us extend our reach globally and make sure any locale that wants to contribute is treated equally.<\/p>\n In the same vein, we\u2019ve been working hard on making sure we can support our right-to-left locales in Fenix. Reza, a core Mozilla Persian localizer (who you will find called out in our \u201cFriends of the Lion\u201d section), has been a key helper in this initiative and is helping push things forwards. Thank you Reza!<\/p>\n Lockwise<\/a> has also been a growing initiative that spans across our desktop and mobile products. We have both an Android and iOS version. If you\u2019ve been localizing Firefox iOS, feel free to request the iOS version of this project from the Pontoon project page<\/a>. For Android, send your request to delphine<\/a> so she can set you up. All this will help in providing a consistent experience between desktop Lockwise and mobile Lockwise.<\/p>\n Quite a few pages were added and updated in recent weeks. Some of the deadlines are mandatory for Tier 1 markets and others are for all languages in order to be included for certain release.<\/p>\n Update<\/b>: due on November 25<\/p>\n New<\/strong>: due on December 11<\/p>\n The following pages are important pages that have been activated on production. Please prioritize accordingly:<\/p>\n The project will be on a weekly code push, and localized content will be pushed to production much more regularly than it has been.<\/p>\n In recent months, quite a few legal documents were revised and updated. New documents were created and new languages were added. Reviews and feedback are welcome:<\/p>\n Launch has been delayed, but it will happen as soon as the last blockers are fixed. Thanks for all your work so far! Next steps for this project are exposing the CMS content and a few strings specific to the Thunderbird donate page. This will be the first CMS fully connected to Pontoon, so there are still some last minute issues to fix.<\/p>\n A first batch of UI strings for the foundation website<\/a> has been exposed in Pontoon<\/a> for all supported locales. A few strings that are not yet localizable are going to be exposed over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n We shipped the first batch of review process improvements<\/a> that will be coming to Pontoon, notably the new 3-column translation workbench layout. It brings several changes:<\/p>\n We hope you like the new layout as much as we do. And please let us know if you have any problems!<\/p>\n Outreachy<\/a> contribution period is complete, which means we\u2019re in the process of selecting our intern for this round. Accepted interns will be announced on November 26, and the internship will start a week later on December 3. Thanks to April, Dinda, Anastasia, Karskaja, Katherine, Michael, Monika and Okpo for making a contribution and fixing a whooping 37 bugs<\/a> in total so far.<\/p>\n The Firefox Screenshots project has been removed from Pontoon. The website hasn\u2019t been updated in a long time, and it\u2019s scheduled for removal. We\u2019re working on porting the add-on code to Fluent<\/a>, and migrating existing translations into each l10n repository. At that point, the add-on will be localizable as part of Firefox.<\/p>\n Want to showcase an event coming up that your community is participating in? Reach out to any l10n-driver and we\u2019ll include that (see links to emails at the bottom of this report)<\/p>\n It\u2019s the end of the year and there are so many unreviewed suggestions in Pontoon! We\u2019re working out a project campaign for December to get your help to reduce the number of unreviewed strings for your locale and start the year fresh. Stay tuned for details!<\/p>\n Image by Elio Qoshi<\/p><\/div>\n Know someone in your l10n community who\u2019s been doing a great job and should appear here? Contact on of the l10n-drivers and we\u2019ll make sure they get a shout-out (see list at the bottom)!<\/p>\n Did you enjoy reading this report?
