Hi Delphine,

This project is not visible for Tamil(ta) in Pootle.

Could you please enable it?

Hi Arun!

Thanks for your interest. I checked and Tamil is supported by iOS so I can
help with enabling that. Will reach out to you once it's done.

I would like to suggest though to prioritize mozilla.org, as it is the main
project that we have identified that teams should focus on first. It's from
there that people can actually find your localized projects so it makes
sense to have that page localized first :)

Thanks!

Hi Arun,

I've enabled the project for Tamil: https://mozilla.locamotion.org/ta/ios/
It should be available by the next tick of the hour. Let me know if it's
not.

As mentioned previously, I think it's a good idea to complete mozilla.org
first, but you can definitely focus your efforts in parallel on Firefox for
iOS!

Thanks for all your hard work and interest with this!

Thanks Delphine for your quick response.

It is visible in pootle. We are wirking on mozilla.org on priority pages as
well.
