Firefox:L10n Productization

	THIS PAGE IS A WORKING DRAFT
	The page may be difficult to navigate, and some information on its subject might be incomplete and/or evolving rapidly. If you have any questions or ideas, please add them as a new topic on the discussion page.

The objective of this page is to clarify the approach we would like to take to create a better user experience for each locale by offering more local features beyond language in each locale.

We would like to encourage improved user experience by adapting FireFox to local markets through features that can be cutomized to reflect local cultures. Specifically, the current release allows us to change the search plug-ins, bookmarks and RSS choices in ways to ensure that beyond language, FireFox reflects the culture and user base preferences of that locale. By doing this we also hope to have an added benefit of increasing our numbers of users across all locales.

In order to create those changes a bug should be created with a copy to [insert email address here e.g., partnersatmozilla.com or BDatmozilla.com or micatmozilla.com]. The bug should describe the rationale for the choice e.g., more popular choice among users in that locale. The bug should also include any contact details we have for the partner and permissions they have provided us to include their service in Firefox. The partnership (or business development) group at Mozilla needs to ensure that we have their permission and are not liable against any unknown terms of service. This covers any legal obligations. Mozilla would also like to have their contact details to get information at a later date about how they are finding user behaviour or metrics changing after their inclusion in the next release of Firefox.

We are always open to feedback to make this approach and the use of Firefox better. Any comments can be sent to mic@mozilla.com
