The deadline to update localization has just passed (March 24).<\/li>\n<li>Firefox 76, currently in Nightly, will move to Beta when 75 is officially released. The deadline to update localizations for that version will be April 21 (4 weeks after the current deadline).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In terms of upcoming content to localize, in Firefox 76 there\u2019s a new authentication dialog, prompting users to authenticate with the Operating System when performing operations like setting a master password, or interacting with saved passwords in about:logins. Localizing this content is particularly challenging on macOS, since only part of the dialog\u2019s text comes from Firefox (highlighted in red in the image below).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/files\/2020\/03\/76626217-b0f67980-6530-11ea-87a4-30fde8fe5753.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/files\/2020\/03\/76626217-b0f67980-6530-11ea-87a4-30fde8fe5753-600x297.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/files\/2020\/03\/76626217-b0f67980-6530-11ea-87a4-30fde8fe5753-600x297.png 600w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/files\/2020\/03\/76626217-b0f67980-6530-11ea-87a4-30fde8fe5753-252x125.png 252w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/files\/2020\/03\/76626217-b0f67980-6530-11ea-87a4-30fde8fe5753-768x380.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/files\/2020\/03\/76626217-b0f67980-6530-11ea-87a4-30fde8fe5753.png 1112w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Make sure to read the instructions on the <a href=\"https:\/\/groups.google.com\/d\/msg\/mozilla.dev.l10n\/Pi0WFa5ullY\/v5-K-t6FDgAJ\">dev-l10n mailing list<\/a> for some advice on how to localize this dialog.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s new or coming up in web projects<\/h3>\n<h4>Mozilla.org<\/h4>\n<p>A lot of pages were added in the last month.

Privacy Not Included is Mozilla\u2019s attempt, through technical research, to help people shop products that are safe, secure and private. The project has been <a href=\"https:\/\/pontoon.mozilla.org\/projects\/privacy-not-included\/\">enabled on Pontoon<\/a> and a first batch of strings has been made available. You can test your work on <a href=\"https:\/\/foundation.mofostaging.net\/privacynotincluded\/\">the staging website<\/a>, updated almost daily. For the locales that have access to the project, you can also opt-in to localize the <a href=\"https:\/\/foundation.mozilla.org\/privacynotincluded\/about\/\">About section<\/a>. If you\u2019re interested, reach out to <a href=\"https:\/\/mozillians.org\/u\/tchevalier\/\">Th\u00e9o<\/a>. Not all locales can translate the project yet but the team is exploring technical options to make it happen. The next edition of the guide is scheduled for this fall, and more content will be exposed over time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foundation.mozilla.org\/blog\/mozfest-moving-amsterdam-note-festival-director-sarah-allen\/\">MozFest is moving to Amsterdam!<\/a> After 10 years in London, the Mozilla Festival will move to Amsterdam for its next edition in March 2021. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillafestival.org\">homepage<\/a> is now localized, including in Dutch, and support for Frisian will be added soon. The team will make more content available for localization during the time leading to the next festival edition.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s new or coming up in SuMo<\/h3>\n<p>The SUMO team is going to decommission all old SUMO accounts by the 23rd of March 2020.\u00a0 If you have an account on SUMO, please take action to migrate it to the Firefox Accounts.<\/p>\n<p>In order to migrate to Firefox Account, it&#8217;s better to always start by logging in to your old account and follow the prompt from there.
