New l10n-driver<\/h3>\n
Welcome eemeli<\/a>, our new l10n-driver! He will be working on Fluent and Pontoon, and is part of our tech team along with Matja\u017e. We hope we can all connect soon so you can meet him.<\/p>\n Katelem from Obolo<\/a> locale. Welcome to localization at Mozilla!<\/p>\n Are you a locale leader and want us to include new members in our upcoming reports? Contact us!<\/a><\/p>\n Obolo<\/a> (ann) locale was added to Pontoon.<\/p>\n A new major release (MR2) is coming for Firefox desktop with Firefox 94. The deadline to translate content for this version, currently in Beta, is October 24<\/b>.<\/p>\n While MR2 is not as content heavy as MR1, there are changes to very visible parts of the UI, like the onboarding for both new and existing users. Make sure to check out the latest edition of the Firefox L10n Newsletter<\/a> for more details, and instructions on how to test.<\/p>\n Focus for Android and iOS have gone through a new refresh! This was done as part of our ongoing MR2 work – which has also covered Firefox for Android and iOS. You can read about all of this here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Many of you have been heavily involved in this work, and we thank you for making this MR2 launch across all mobile products such a successful release globally.<\/p>\n We are now starting our next iteration of MR2 releases. We are still currently working on scoping out the mobile work for l10n, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n One thing to note is that the l10n schedule dates for mobile should now be aligned across product operating systems: one l10n release cycle for all of android, and another release cycle for all of iOS. As always, Pontoon deadlines remain your source of truth for this.<\/p>\n Firefox Accounts team has been working on transitioning Gettext to Fluent. They are in the middle of migrating server.po<\/b> to auth.ftl<\/b>, the component that handles the email feature. Unlike previous migrations where the localized strings were not part of the plan, this time, the team wanted to include them as much as possible. The initial attempt didn\u2019t go as planned due to multiple technical issues. The new auth.ftl file made a brief appearance in Pontoon and is now disabled. They will give it a go after confirming that the identified issues were addressed and tested.<\/p>\n All the legal docs are translated by our vendor. Some of you have reported translation errors or they are out of sync with the English source. If you spot any issues, wrong terminology, typo, missing content, to name a few, you can file a bug<\/a>. Generally we do not encourage localizers to provide translations because of the nature of the content. If they are minor changes, you can create a PR<\/a> and ask for a peer review to confirm your change before the change can be merged. If the overall quality is bad, we will request the vendor to change the translators.<\/p>\n Please note, the locale support for legal docs varies from product to product. Starting this year, the number of supported locales also has decreased to under 20. Some of the previously localized docs are no longer updated. This might be the reason you see your language out of sync with the English source.<\/p>\n Five more mobile specific pages were added since our last report. If you need to prioritize them, please give higher priority to the Focus, Index and Compare pages.<\/p>\n Lots of new stuff since our last update here in June. Here are some of the highlights:<\/p>\n You\u2019re always welcome to join our Matrix<\/a> or the contributor forum<\/a> to talk more about anything related to support!<\/p>\n Submit your ideas and report bugs via GitHub<\/b><\/p>\n We have enabled GitHub Issues in the Pontoon repository<\/a> and made it the new place for tracking bugs, enhancements and tasks for Pontoon development. At the same time, we have disabled the Pontoon Component in Bugzilla, and imported all open bugs into GitHub Issues. Old bugs are still accessible on their existing URLs. For reporting security vulnerabilities, we\u2019ll use a newly created component in Bugzilla<\/a>, which allows us to hide security problems from the public until they are resolved.<\/p>\n Using GitHub Issues will make it easier for the development team to resolve bugs via commit messages and put them on a Roadmap, which will also be moved to GitHub soon. We also hope GitHub Issues will make suggesting ideas and reporting issues easier for the users. Let us know if you run into any issues or have any questions!<\/p>\n More improvements to the notification system coming<\/b><\/p>\n As part of our H1 effort to better understand how notifications are being used<\/a>, the following features have received most votes in a localizer survey:<\/p>\n Thanks to eemeli<\/a>, the first item was resolved back in August. The second feature has also been implemented, which means reviewers will receive weekly notifications about newly created unreviewed suggestions within the last week. Work on the last item – ability to opt-out of specific notification types – has started.<\/p>\n We published two new posts in the Localization category<\/a> on Discourse:<\/p>\n Did you enjoy reading this report? Let us know how we can improve by reaching out to any one of the l10n-drivers listed above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" October 2021 Report Please note some of the information provided in this report may be subject to change as we are sometimes sharing information about projects that are still in … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1262,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[467028,137],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1537"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1537"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1537\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/l10n\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}New localizers<\/h3>\n
