Re: Calling Experienced Localizers - Support the Add-ons Localization Campaign!

Hello Ruben

I just registered.

It was a little complicated discover how to find my username but if you
select your profile since this link:

https://pontoon.mozilla.org/contributors/

They give you the username, something like this:

https://pontoon.mozilla.org/contributors/F-y74uVWni22WWD2-MxORz8VhBk/

A little weird but it works.

Greetings.

> During the last weeks of June the Add-ons team together with the Open

>
> - Any mozillian will be able to suggest new translations (we want to give

> - Anyone will be able to upvote and downvote suggestions (we want to get

> - We want to rely on you, trusted localizers, to check the reviewed
> strings and approve them.
> - Once the add on is localized, we’ll be asking mozillians to test the
> add-ons in their language before they launch.
>
> After localization is complete, we will promote these add-ons in their
> corresponding locales.
>
> If this experimental campaign is successful (whether it can drive new
> installs), not only will we provide huge value to Firefox Desktop, but we
> will also be able to make the case for providing a wider and more sustained
> support of localization to Firefox add-ons.
