Firefox iOS v8: l10n schedule and important update to sign-offs

[Delphine L]

Hey there localizers!

Hope you had a fantastic weekend.

Strings for Firefox for iOS v8 have just been exposed. Please read through
as we are changing our sign-off process going forwards.

* String freeze: April 21st (past)
* Localization deadline: May 12
* Actual release (tentative): May 30
* Strings count: 12 new short strings

Strings should be available very soon on Pontoon [1] and Pootle [2].

*Testing *

Automated screenshots for testing v8 features will be made available as
usual here: https://people-mozilla.org/~sarentz/fxios/screenshots/

If you have an iOS device, I can also add you to test builds so you can
test your work on an actual device. Please PM me for that.

*Sign-offs: changes*

>From now on, for mobile projects (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,
https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/~flod/webstatus/?product=firefox-ios

- 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 iOS 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 and file bugs, please CC :delphine
to them (there's
no tracking bug at the moment).

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

Hi Delphine,

Is there any shared calendar with schedulled Firefox for iOS releases?
It would be great to see something similar to the current Firefox release schedule, or maybe even better to include Firefox for iOS into it...

Thanks,
Artem

Hey Artem,

Yeah technically it should live here, but it's not been updated for a while :/
