Hmmmm... I am trying to update the Greek tree, but I cannot find an
updated locales/ en-US browser.dtd anywhere in http://mxr.mozilla.org.

There are still many fennec4b3 and firefox4b8 blockers and I believe the code
freeze is not today.

L10n code freeze is different from the main one? Or we have some more time to
update the strings?

The direction provided by the Fennec release drivers was to have our
l10n done by Dec 1. That was requested 2 weeks ago and the instruction
has not changed. I will check today to see if there is more time.
Thank you,

Just a bit more info for you and everyone:
I pinged Mark Finkle and he responded by saying that, as far as he
knows, our localizers can make changes until the release engineering
team starts spinning the RC builds. And, we have not started RC builds
as of right now. The development team still has a few bugs to land,
and are shooting for Thursday or Friday. If the dev team could make a
guess, you have a day or two more available to translate. Please sign
off if you are making changes now. Sign off is absolutely necessary to
be included in the beta 3.
https://l10n-stage-sj.mozilla.org/shipping/dashboard?av=fennec4.0
Lastly, the dev team will take strings again for beta 4 and that code
freeze will be January 6, 2011.

Then I'll make ja l10n ready before the beta3rc builds. ;)

I don't have any device to test my work. Is there any other way to do
that on a desktop? Could I humbly ask for someone to help with a basic
test for sq locale?
TIA

Jumping in for flod, download the localized desktop build, and then edit
chrome.manifest. Here's a little sed script that will do the trick:
sed -i .bak 's/en\-US/localized/' chrome.manifest
diff -u chrome.manifest.bak chrome.manifest
--- chrome.manifest.bak 2010-12-01 11:38:01.000000000 +0100
+++ chrome.manifest 2010-12-02 09:55:13.000000000 +0100
@@ -1,7 +1,7 @@
manifest components/interfaces.manifest
manifest components/nsINIProcessor.manifest
manifest components/nsProxyAutoConfig.manifest
-manifest chrome/en-US.manifest

manifest components/nsHandlerService.manifest

manifest components/ConsoleAPI.manifest
Way, hacky, but it works.
Or, you download the en-US nightly, and install the langpack for your
locale, that should work as well.
mwu is making progress on this bug, fwiw, but fixing it requires some
changes in our build factories, sadly. So no low hanging fruit.

I downloaded the en-US nightly desktop build the other night and was
able to test a bunch of search plugins for different locales. You can
find the en-US nightly desktop builds here:
