'''Q1 Goals'''
* '''Understand which new markets, languages, locales are our priority in the short and medium term. Gain wisdom from our Mozilla Japan colleagues'''.
* Plan and process for evaluating the quality of our localized sites. User testing with l10n focus.
* Plan, technical strategy and prototype for right-to-left (RTL) locales. 
 
* Bugzilla component: '''Localization'''
 
* '''Owners:''' Humph, Ali
* '''Key Tasks'''
** Right-to-Left Planning -- '''(Tues AM)''' https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=965406 
** Prioritize Languages/Locales https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=965412
** Webmaker and Japan https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=965416
** Localization User Testing https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=965417
** '''Community Managment of our Transifex community.''' Do we need to do anything?  How should we share the management of this beyond Ali?


*  '''Post Work Week Priorities (individual tasks that could be done or put off):'''
**  Make language setting per-user vs. per-site (user setting, per session, ???)
**  UX for MakeAPI for localized searches
**  Localized Emails, especially auto-generated
**  Site banner/CTA to indicate lang/locale is not complete, and links to help translate, etc.
**  Automation to auto-upload translation files to Transifex when something changes in en-US
** Can we co-ordinate with MDN for details we share with them (e.g., HTML and CSS info in Goggles/Thimble)?
**  Locale file info in healthcheck, to show how recently l10n translations where downloaded
** Improve L10N Responsiveness of our Tools: we need to audit for things like widths/height.  We've fixed in webmaker.org, but missed a lot in our tools.
** Localization of Teaching Kits and other Makes.  We don't have any automated/Transifex way of doing this now.
** Need to educate people on using Tutorials vs. inline HTML comments in Thimble--this makes localization much easier.
** Prompt users for locale on publish
**  Display appropriate locales on Webmaker.org locale (ie pt-br content on webmaker.org/pt-br/)
