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

Hello everyone again,

Just a quick note, in case you missed it we launched the campaign on 
Monday :D

https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/the-add-on-localization-campaign-is-happening-join-us/29432/ 


Please share with your communities in the 10 target locales and 
encourage people to participate! (we are already seeing a lot of activity)

After reviewing it with the L10N drivers, we been also giving rights for 
doing the final approvals to some of you that applied using the form I 
shared a few weeks ago. Check your email for quick guide/instructions 
and thanks for your help!

And a final clarification to everyone, we are only using crowdin this 
time because at the time of planning the campaign Pontoon was not ready 
to handle all the requirements, Pontoon is our reference tool for 
localization at Mozilla.

Cheers.

The great thing is that recent research demonstrated that users who install add-ons are way more engaged with the browser, so we can potentially unlock huge value for Firefox through this Campaign!
