Hello,

I have spotted a mistake in a translation of a promotion message[1] on
the about:home page on Firefox.

I wanted to fix it but was unable to find it on the pontoon project of
Firefox. There is a aboutHome.dtd resource but the message are not there.

Any hint where I can find it?

Thanks

Hi,
What's the language of your browser? Strings should be here, unless the
translation didn't happen via our systems
https://pontoon.mozilla.org/projects/engagement/

Note that fixing the translation in Pontoon won't be enough, we still
need to file a bug since the process is manual.

Hello,

My browser is in French.
I found the string on github an submitted the changes there
https://github.com/mozilla-l10n/www.mozilla.org/pull/158/files
but I could not find it on Pontoon.

Is it because it is an outdated string or I looked at the wrong place?

That's mozilla.org translation, in particular the home page of
mozilla.org, it's unrelated to snippets.

It would really help to know which is the string and the error, since
the screenshot is in English.

Ok I checked again on the engagement project and was able to find it.

https://pontoon.mozilla.org/fr/engagement/all-resources/?search=without+limit&string=162167

I guess I limited my search to Firefox.

Thanks

Hi Martin,

Thanks for keeping an eye on the French translations!
I’ve checked your suggestions, however the current translation is
correct. Here’s what Antidote says about it:

« En contexte négatif, limites est toujours pluriel, puisque, s’il y en
avait, il y aurait nécessairement plusieurs limites. On écrit toujours
sans limites. »

If you find French translation mistakes (it happens!), please use the
“File a bug” link here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Teams:fr or ping
us on IRC in #l10n-fr

Cheers,
Théo
