Workday goals

Internal terminology management workflow will be streamlined.

Corresponding OKR: Establish consistent practice of managing Mozilla terminology for all products and brand/product names.

This goal will be completed when:

• We define requirements for a terminology management solution.
• We evaluate at least 3 candidate solutions against our requirements.
• We make a selection and formulate/execute a migration plan for existing terminology data.
• We educate UX, SUMO, and others on using the solution and define an effective, streamlined pipeline for proposing, evaluating, and finalizing new terms.
• We create a product requirement document (PRD) for terminology management in Mozilla l10n toolchain to determine the investment and its return if we were to build our own solution.

L10n team is ready to scale localization for more mobile projects on faster timelines.

Corresponding OKR: Android products can be rapidly bootstrapped and continuously localized.

This goal will be completed when:

• Existing technical pain points in mobile l10n projects have been identified and scoped.
• We can predict scale challenges in human overhead and technical inefficiencies.
• We have a plan to account for scale challenges that is approved by leadership.
