Hello localizers

First of all, I wanted to thank you all for the work and dedication
you have put into translating Fennec (Firefox for Android) strings.

As part of our plans to shift towards the Fenix browser, it won't be
possible to add new locales to Fennec anymore. The locales in question
are:

ach,
as
ia
jiv
km
ks
lg
ltg
mai
meh
mix
ny
or
pai
quy
qvi
si
sw
tl
tsz
(if your locale does not appear here, you are not concerned by this email!)

Since these locales are not shipping yet, we will be removing the
project for these teams from Pontoon very soon. The translations that
have been contributed to Fennec until now won’t be erased, and will be
used as a resource for those locales who choose to localize Fenix -
once we open Fenix to more locales (very soon).
In fact, existing translations will remain in Mercurial repositories.
If plans around Firefox for Android change in the near future, we'll
be able to restore the project in Pontoon without losing any work.

Please reach out to me directly if you have any questions or concerns.

thank you!
