Hello localizers,

As many of you have noticed - and asked me about - Focus browsers (so, both
iOS and Android) have been on a hiatus for a while now. There have been no
new strings, as active development has halted.

In fact, there have been very few fixes to the bugs you’ve filed - as the
projects have been given lower priority. We have also not been adding new
locales since the end of 2018, as I’ve mentioned a few times in the past in
my comms here. We have recently realized that we can't add locales that had
started work at one point, nor fix typos - and this wasn't clear until very
recently. This is why the projects were still enabled in Pontoon.

We don't currently have plans for updates to Firefox Focus that will
require input from localizers. We will communicate proactively if these
plans change. To avoid distraction and confusion, we are disabling Focus in
Pontoon for the time being.

Both Focus browsers will continue to be available with your localizations
in the corresponding stores.

Please let me know if you have any questions. We realize this can represent
a frustrating situation, and we’ll keep you updated if/when this situation
evolves.

And thanks as always for your patience, and all your hard work!
