	__NOTOC__Mozilla's localization (L10n) objective is to improve the world by culturally adapting Mozilla products by region and locale and offering them to every user in every region throughout the world. By doing so, we create a world where the open web exists beyond linguistic, cultural, and geographical boundaries. We also pride ourselves on making sure that each user will love their experience with Mozilla products, regardless of language, culture, and region. A user has an awesome experience with Mozilla by learning about, discovering, installing, using, and continually updating their Mozilla products to their latest released versions.		__NOTOC__

The nature of the mozilla L10n effort is deeply rooted in collaborative work between volunteer localizers who are organized into self-governing communities and a lean team of mozilla staff called the L10n drivers. This process that keeps this collaboration strong can be described in four stages: an initial desire to localizing Firefox, the work involved in localizing Firefox, pushing localized versions toward official release status, and maintaining Firefox while jumping into more projects.

	__NOTOC__Mozilla's localization (L10n for short) objective is to offer Mozilla applications to as many users as possible in their language. By doing so, we create a world where the open web exists beyond linguistic, cultural, and geographical boundaries. We also pride ourselves on making sure that each user will love their experience with Mozilla products, regardless of language and region. We characterize this user experience as learning about, discovering, installing, using, and continually updating their Mozilla products to their latest released versions.		__NOTOC__Mozilla's localization (L10n for short) objective is to offer Mozilla applications to as many users as possible in their language.
