Focus Android v2.0 strings + important info about upcoming Focus releases

[Delphine L]

Hello localizers!

Some more strings for Focus Android have landed! In fact, Focus for Android
will be moving to a bi-weekly cadence. Focus for iOS will likely follow the
same cadence. Whether both will be synced or not is still under discussion
(right now we are leaning to syncing them, but stay tuned).

In any case, this means there will be strings landing every 2 weeks for
Focus, which means that while this is more often, the work load will be
smaller. It also let's us make fixes and improvements much faster. You can
find this new schedule here[1]

*What does this mean for this time around?*
* l10n deadline: Aug 9 (localizing + testing). Since I actually hand off
languages on the 10th, it makes sense to have everything done more towards
the 9th - which is why this is one day earlier than what's noted on the
Focus Android train schedule
* New strings: 5 short ones
* Modified strings: 1
* Deleted strings: 0

You can find the strings as usual on Pontoon [2] right now - and on Pootle
[3] by the next tick of the hour.

*Testing*
Screenshots will be provided for testing soon.

For those of you using BuddyBuild, you'll get updated builds every week. If
you want to be on a localized Buddybuild, reach out to me and I'll get you
plugged in.

*Sign-offs*
For mobile app projects (so all except Firefox for Android), we will be
shipping all locales that:
- are at 100% complete translation with no remaining errors on the web
dashboard at l10n deadline,
https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/webstatus/?product=focus-android

- have no visible l10n errors upon review of the locale's screenshots
(e.g., significant truncation, text overflow, encoding, etc.) besides what
may have already been reported to the mobile team to correct.

We've realized the past process (ie. communities explicitly signing-off
within a bug for each locale) does not scale. We've also missed the
opportunity to ship locales that were good and ready to go because
localizers did not sign-off on time on their bug. With time, we've noticed
it is safe to ship completed locales, as localizers are generally diligent
in checking that their work looks good on screenshots, and otherwise filing
bugs to fix issues.

*Finding issues*
If you find any issues, please add :delphine to them (there's
no tracking bug at the moment).

As a reminder, Focus for Android-specific issues are currently filed here:
https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-android/issues

As always, if you have any questions or comments, please let us know.

Thanks!

Hi Delphine.

Does the team have a plan to add the dates to the release calendar, or make
a new one, so we can add it and see updates and future versions?

What if we miss one version update and do not translate new strings in
time, e.g. because of holidays? Will the users get incomplete localization,
will they be switched to English or skip the update?

Hi Michal,

Sorry for not responding sooner, I was taking some time off :) Comments

At the time, there are no plans to add these dates to a release calendar.
We just have the chart up here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobil
e/Focus/Android/Train_Schedule

But I'll pop that question in at our next meeting just in case ;)

Typically, we'll just get an incomplete localization in. Unless it's a
"high risk" string (so very user-facing, critical, security-related, etc)
we won't be dropping a locale entirely just because it's missing it. I
don't foresee that happening very often. It's always better to have most of
the UI translated than falling back to English entirely just because of a
few missing strings. Especially if your locale has been shipping in the
past.

I don't expect us to be getting a lot of strings each time anyways. Also,
if you miss one cycle, then you get to update those strings for the next
release, which is only 2 weeks away each time.

Hope this helps!

Thank you Delphine. I realize screenshots for 'eu' are missing. Would
it be possible to have them available in the next update? Thanks!

Julen.

Hi Delphine,

Just FYI, we've opened an issue[1] about "Your Rights" pages which is
not available to localize on pt-BR.

Thanks!

Update: screenshots are regularly updated now, so I won't be calling
it out here. You can check every few days for updated iterations. Just
reach out to me directly if you see anything weird, or have any
comments/concerns :)

Friendly reminder that deadline is tomorrow!
thanks

Hi Delphine,

Some feedback about the screenshots page: Is it possible to get a URL
with only the screenshots for my locale?

It takes an awful lot of time to load the screenshots page
(https://npark-mozilla.github.io/) since it loads _all _(32) screenshots
for _all _(59) locales... Also, some people might be limited on
bandwidth too.

slaut,
jordi s

Hey Jordi,

Thought I had already posted it on the mailint list - but seems like
that was actually an individual email...

Yes, you can check them out direcly on github here:
https://github.com/npark-mozilla/npark-mozilla.github.io

There should be a direct url redirecting to Gitbooks too, but I can't
find it for some reason. Will keep you posted when I do.

thanks
delphine

Could you change it in the Pontoon project description? Right now it
points to:

https://npark-mozilla.github.io/index.html

and it kills my browser (all images from all locales at once).

Eduardo.

[Delphine L]

Yeah, I'll do that once I get a better link than the one to GitHub.
Traveling to Paraguay now so the internet is flaky.
thanks
