Hi, to frame the topic: We have a few localization efforts that don't keep up with the rapid localization process. There are no easy answers to keep them up-to-date, so we need to have a discussion when we flag locales. I'm looking for people from both product (Firefox/Fennec at least) and l10n that want to participate in this discussion. I hope to have a limited group of people doing a small number of conf calls and mail exchanges on this. That way, we shouldn't scope-creep the discussion, and get to an OK compromise at large. Why now? So far, the biggest UI changes have been around about: urls and devtools, so I've made the call myself to just continue to ship for desktop. I didn't investigate mobile. With Firefox 8, we'll see a dialog on whether you want to keep your system-installed addons, AFAICT. That's a good data point to make sure we balance the UX between a fully localized browser, a browser with mixed in English strings, or a migration of the users of those locales to ... well, what to convert to is subject of this discussion as well.
