Hi,
we hit some issues with strings in shared/lockscreen on Gaia 2.2 [1]

The original string was something like "80% Charged (25 mins
remaining)", and it was considered potentially confusing: minutes
remaining to complete charge or phone running out of power?

It was then changed to "80% Charged (25 mins until fully charged)" to
avoid any confusion. We landed the strings on Master with new IDs to
make sure localizers were aware of the issue, but the patch that landed
on 2.2 was broken (new IDs, but old content). Thanks to Sebastian for
noticing it.

Since April 6 was also the day of string freeze, we only landed a fix to
update the string content
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/commit/4b4397afedc8eb7f132e371c26ad5840b7077195

Make sure you double check these strings, especially if you were
following gaia-l10n closely with your localization work. It's possible
that your original translation was already fine and not as confusing as
English, but better making sure of it.

On the bright side, a few hours ago we hit the string freeze deadline
and I've just pushed a few more strings to gaia-l10n. From now pushing
new strings to 2.2 should be a lot harder.

Francesco
