Generate l10n installers with missing entities
armenzg
currently generate nightly installers which will break the moment that
the entity is tried to be reached by the code.
Axel mentioned that we can generate installers with the missing
entities by adding the en-US
Is this already available? or is it by adding the l10n-merge tool
somehow?

That depends on the make-jars rewrite, see bug 439050. That patch isn't
ready for review yet.
As people complained about the noise in the l10n group, it might be a
good idea to just ask me directly on these things, as I am really the
one that would know. Or just .builds, not sure how much that group minds.

This is how we've been building files with the Translate Toolkit -
replacing the source text when a translation doesn't exist. This way we
always get usable translations, even if incomplete.

I added a small script to Silme to do this ./script/l10nmerge.py:
You have three kinds of merges implemented:
-t1: merges l10n entities over source files (en-US)
-t2: merges missing entities at the end of l10n files
-t3: merges missing entities where they should be in the l10n files.
This is just a proof of concept, but a usable one :)

It could be nice if the build will shown something when it opens if
there is a missing entity. Maybe a javascript popup with the strings
missing, or maybe a about:l10n page as a start page.

This obviously will only be for "nightly" builds

an RFE. Another option we talked about is to modify the branding to
denote those modifications.
