Firefox Mobile beta expected May 10th, 3 languages?

Could someone explain this to me?

I'm slightly annoyed right now, so I just hope I'm misunderstanding
things or I missed some important communication during the last weeks.

Hey flod, sign-off and join the beta process.

I'm still discussing with Jaclyn, and yes, that material is not gonna
hold us back. The discussion is a bit of fall-out from us perhaps having
the market material in languages in which the app isn't ready *yet*.

To your point, I'm drafting a post on how I plan to just mass-add
locales to the fennec builds, but I'll do that on May 2nd. So, more like
60 than 3.

Thanks a lot Axel,
glad to read this, even if I honestly hope that mobile's team will learn
to better communicate with l10n and the outside world (see also
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.l10n/saGv_q3-j3Q/discussion).


I'm following all l10n groups and mobile test driver, I even quickly
scanned all meeting notes on planet this morning, but that comment
popped out of nowhere and really pissed me off, having worked on
mobile's trunk for months without real results (current Firefox Beta on
market is in English, and people keep asking me why).

P.S. used a wrong mail address the first time, sorry if this message
arrives twice

>From your "60" I'm guessing that any language can be released this time
round. Is that correct? Will the non-market languages be distributed
from the Mozilla site and easily installable/updatable?

That's the plan. I received mails today that not all aspects of that
plan are as tested as I would have hoped, but I'm confident.
