Hello Localizers,

As previously communicated, we have pushed a set of brand new Firefox pages
to Pontoon and Pootle. Besides the new content, the style of writing is a
significant shift from other pages on mozilla.org. We have added notes
wherever we see a need to provide context for better understanding of the
content.

*Project*: Firefox hub and subpages:

- /firefox/shared.lang


- /firefox/index.lang


- /firefox/desktop.lang


- /firefox/android.lang


- /firefox/ios.lang


- /firefox/focus.lang


- /firefox/features.lang


- /firefox/features/fast.lang


- /firefox/features/independent.lang


- /firefox/features/private-browsing.lang


- /firefox/features/memory.lang


- /firefox/features/bookmarks.lang


- /firefox/features/password-manager.lang


*Languages*: All
*Deadline*: 16 August

Please note, of all the files above, *localize /firefox/shared.lang first.*
This file contains common strings existing in other pages. It is very
important that before you start working on any other pages, complete
/firefox/shared.lang first.

These pages replace some existing content on mozilla.org (e.g. firefox/ios
and firefox/android), if the new files are not localized by 16 August, these
URLs will redirect to English content. Please try to localize them before
the deadline.

When you work on some of the pages, you will notice the play with words or
theme. In the bookmarks.lang: File.. Fly... Futz. Or in
password-manager.lang, Hero... Ninja... Master... Be a little creative
when attempting to localize the strings, think of local relevant figures or
expressions instead of translating it word for word to match the US-centric
content.

As always, please check your web dashboard for project progress and
deadlines: https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/webdashboard/.

For those who report that the mozilla.org landing page is no longer in
their language, make sure mozorg/home/index-2016.lang
<https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/langchecker/?locale=am#mozorg/home/index-2016.lang>
is localized, and so are main.lang as well as download_button.lang.

Thank you,
Peiying

Hi Peiying,

Are there more strings to come? I'm translated to 100% but still
see some English content, e.g. on the page

https://www-dev.allizom.org/ga-IE/firefox/focus/

"Following the pack..."
"Firefox doesn't sell..."

I note that strings very close to these are translated and appear in
Irish on the main Firefox page:

https://www-dev.allizom.org/ga-IE/firefox/

but it looks like there were slight tweaks to the ones on the Focus
page - an inserted comma in the first one and "companies" changed to
"browsers" in the second.

Kevin

Thanks for spotting this, the extra comma is being removed from the
template.
> "Firefox doesn't sell..."
This is being updated from "like other browsers" to "like other
companies" for consistency with the rest of the pages.

Dev server should be updated within a few hours, it will take a bit more
for production (changes need to be deployed, and most of the company is
out for the 4th of July).
