Are you a locale leader and want us to include new members in our upcoming reports? Contact us!<\/a><\/p>\n First of all, let\u2019s all congratulate the Silesian (szl) team<\/b><\/a> for making their way into the official builds of Firefox. After spending several months in Nightly, they\u2019re now ready for general audience and will ride the trains to Beta and Release with Firefox 87.<\/p>\n Upcoming deadlines:<\/p>\n This means that, as of February 23, we\u2019ll be only two cycles away from the next big release of Firefox (89), which will include the UI redesign internally called Proton<\/a>. Several strings have already been exposed for localization, and you can start testing them \u2013 always in a new profile<\/a>! \u2013 by manually setting these preferences to true<\/i> in about:config<\/a>:<\/p>\n It\u2019s a constant work in progress, so expect the UI to change frequently, as new elements are added every few days.<\/p>\n One important thing to note: English will change several elements of the UI from Title Case<\/i> to Sentence case<\/i>. These changes will not require locales to retranslate all the strings, but it also expects each locale to have clearly defined rules in their style guides<\/a> about the correct capitalization to use for each part of the UI. If your locale is following the same capitalization rules as en-US, then you\u2019ll need to manually change these strings to match the updated version.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll have more detailed follow-ups in the coming week about Proton, highlighting the key areas to test. In the meantime, make sure that your style guides are in good shape, and get in touch if you don\u2019t know how to work on them in GitHub.<\/p>\n You may have noticed some changes to the Firefox for Android (\u201cFenix\u201d) release schedule – that affects in turn our l10n schedule for the project.<\/p>\n In fact, Firefox for Android is now mirroring the Firefox Desktop schedule (as much as possible). While you will notice that the Pontoon l10n deadlines are not quite the same between Firefox Android and Firefox Desktop, their release cadence will be the same, and this will help streamline our main products.<\/p>\n Firefox for iOS remains unchanged for now – although the team is aiming to streamline the release process as well. However, this also depends on Apple, so this may take more time to implement.<\/p>\n Concerning the Proton redesign<\/a> (see section above about Desktop), we still do not know to what extent it will affect mobile. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n The payment settings<\/a> feature is going to be updated later this month through a Beta release. It will be open for localization at a later date. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n Migration to Fluent format continues, and the webdev team aims at wrapping up migration by the end of February. Kindly remind all the communities to check the migrated files for warnings, fix them right away. Otherwise, the strings will appear in English in an activated page on production. Or the page may resort to English because it can\u2019t meet the activation threshold of 80% completion. Please follow the priority of the pages and work through them one at a time.<\/p>\n The project will be moved to Mozilla Foundation later this year. More details will be shared as soon as they become available.<\/p>\n Fairly small release as the transition details are being finalized.<\/p>\n Since the beginning of 2021, SUMO has been supporting Firefox 85. You can see the full list of articles that we added and updated for Firefox 85 in the SUMO Sprint wiki page here<\/a>.<\/p>\n We also have good news from the Dutch team<\/a> who\u2019s been changing their team formation and finally managed to localize 100% support articles in SUMO. This is a huge milestone for the team, who has been a little bit behind in the past couple of years.<\/p>\n There are a lot more interesting changes coming up in our pipeline. Feel free to join SUMO Matrix room<\/a> to discuss or just say hi.<\/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?
