Would it has any sense fixing a TB 1.5 l10n bug?
Ricardo Palomares Martinez
I've got a bug report on a badly translated string in Thunderbird 1.5
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381551). The bug is, of
course, fixed for Thunderbird 2.0, but I don't really have any opinion
about wether if a Tb 1.5 l10n bug should be fixed (or tried to be
fixed, at least) or closed as WONTFIX suggesting the reporter to
upgrade to TB 2.0. What have other teams done in similar cases?
TIA

If it's true that we are here to help others,
then what exactly are the OTHERS here for?

For pl on the old branches, we only make fixes for things that are
important - i.e. we won't fix a missing comma, but if we had "copy"
instead of "paste", I'm sure we would.
I suggest you make the patch and request approval for the 1.8.0 branch.
There will still be a few Tb 1.5 releases, so it does make sense. :)

I'd approve it. For those not reading the bug, the bug is literally
"copy as quotation" vs "paste as quotation".

Thank you very much; I've attached a patch to fix it and set the
approval1.8.0.13 ? flag (it's too late for 1.8.0.12, isn't it?).

Yeah, .12 is almost out. I'll go through approvals once the current
release is closed out.
