L10n:Pontoon

Introduction

Pontoon is Mozilla's Localization Platform. Development takes place on GitHub, where you can also find documentation, ways to get involved and contact information.

This wiki page mainly serves as a development roadmap. We use Mozilla wiki, because it nicely integrates with Bugzilla, which we use for tracking bugs.

Prioritizing bugs

We use 5 bug priority levels, which effectively define the short term roadmap. Priority is usually set after the bug has been confirmed by one of the developers.

• P1: Must be fixed immediately, drop any other work.
• P2: We want to ship this soon, possibly in the current quarter.
• P3: Default starting point, possibly shipping in the following two quarters.
• P4: We expect it to be fixed someday.
• P5: A valid bug, but we might never fix it, unless you provide a patch.

Get involved

Check out developer docs to learn how to set up Pontoon on your computer for development. Here are a few mentored bugs, good to start with for new contributors.
