The critical elements of this stage are to ensure your work has been reviewed by the community, particularly those interested in your language. You can use [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:1/cat:37 AMO] to host your language packs and update them regularly. It's important to collect input from any and all sources about your language pack as this is the first time that people will be using it on a day-to-day basis and giving you feedback about the quality of your work. It is these same users who will then download and promote your new localization.

Something to think about all throughout your work is [[l10n:Building_blocks| expanding the community around you]] who can help you with the language you're working on. This is a good thing and will be useful for you for testing, celebratory events (i.e, launch parties), and possibly web pages or other areas you might need or want help with. We want to help you with this and are working on programs that we believe will do so.
