Localization

Firefox 3.6: Beta 4 shipping with 68 locales. Three further locales are green but not yet opted in: es-MX (needs QA after narro export), hr (contacted Sasa in addition to Ante, progress in hg), sr (Milos is peer, gonna ask him for opt in)

Update 3.5-3.6: If we do that as major update, we'll need the update web-snippets localized.

Fennec: Starting to hit the long tail at 17 localizations, doing some outreach. Due to the large amount of changes for RC, trying our best and take what we get.

General: We should plan how to release more things more often all at the same time. Needs leads for fx, fennec, comm-central, marketing. Everyone wants to ship twice a year on yet more locales. Can that happen at the all-hands?

  • 3.6b4 builds started last night
    • fr locale respin is in progress, build is ready, updates soon
  • starting work on release automation for Fennec
