While the L10n team's work is under review, their builds are migrated to the Beta channel. If problems are discovered during review, they are filed as bugs and the L10n team fixes them in this channel. As with Aurora, they have six weeks to fix all bugs. If they're successful and pass their review, their beta builds are migrated to the Release channel. | While the L10n team's work is under review, their builds are migrated to the Beta channel.

If this is a L10n team's first official release, the review may take longer because of the larger amount of work to be reviewed. In addition, it is possible that the first Beta build may not be approved to move to the Release channel by the end of the six week Beta period. This is why it is absolutely necessary for each L10n team to continue localizing on Aurora, even if their first build is currently under review in another channel. This ensures lasting stability for the localization and reduces the overall amount of new source strings that each team will have to localize for each new version. | If this is a L10n team's first official release, the review may take longer because of the larger amount of work to be reviewed.

This channel is also where the L10n drivers monitor the total number of downloads for a new L10n team's work. As with the L10n teams' language packs, the L10n teams need to gather feedback on their localized Beta builds. Users can provide feedback on these builds by following going to Tools>Feedback and then providing their feedback about the localization (simple enough, right?). The L10n teams check up on the feedback they've received by visiting [http://input.mozilla.org input.mozilla.org]. | This channel is also where the L10n drivers monitor the total number of downloads for a new L10n team's work.
