Question about locale code mappings for Focus (ar, pl, zh-CN, zh-TW)

[Stefan Arentz]

Hi everyone,

I'm working on screenshots for Firefox Focus. I was able to import most of
the locales that are listed at:

https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/webstatus/?product=focus-ios

Most locale codes that we use map directly to what options i have on iOS.
Except these:

ar - not sure what this maps to on iOS, there are many ar-XXX variants but
not just plain 'ar'. Could it be "Arabic World: ar-001" ?

pl: iOS only has pl-PL - is that correct? I can convert the code in a
script before import.

zh-CN and zh-TW: i have a lot of options here: zh-Hans, zh-Hant, zh,
zh-Hans-CN, zh-Hans-SG zh-Hant-TW


Please give me some hints.

Hi Stefan.

I am not Polish, but as I can tell pl-PL is right. It's the same situation
like for Czech, where you can occasionally see cs-CZ too.

zh-Hans -> Simplified Chinese (zh-CN)
zh-Hant -> Traditional Chinese (zh-TW)

I don't think we need to pick the region variant, i.e. zh-Hans-CN and zh-Hant-TW
For pl, pl-PL is definitely OK.

Is a list of these locales available somewhere?

Hey,

Finding out stuff like this for Apple is always a pain....

Looking around, I was able to pull up this list of iOS locale identifiers
(don't know how up to date this is...):

Stefan: I would say ar_001 would be a good choice.

cheers

This is correct. We don't need region variant unless

- We want to offer different settings (e.g. default search engine or search
URL query string) on different locales
- We want to offer different, regional-tailored UI wordings on different
locales

I don't yet see a need for either of those but Marketing or localizers
might think otherwise.

The Arabic localization should be suitable for all Arabic locales,
though I have no idea what this maps to on iOS.

pl-PL/pl_PL is correct but short from (pl) should be used in general.
How is Focus situation different from Firefox on iOS? I think it would be good not to touch translation files too much if possible.
