Re: Help us create a curated list of dictionaries for each shipping locale in Firefox

Thanks Emin,
That's interesting. The language-tools page doesn't have anything listed 
for 'az', AMO's API returns the 'az-IR' one, not the 'az' one you linked to.

I'll try to understand why that wouldn't be the case (maybe because it's 
marked as 'experimental'). In the meantime, I might need to exclude it.
