for user interface, voice search, and text entry. Localization is provided by Mozilla's amazing community of volunteer localizers.

Whenever a new string is added to a localizable strings file (strings.xml, localpages.xml, …) a string description must be provided as a comment above the new string. Also the project L10n wiki page must be updated with a key description, steps to reproduce and the expected results.

Verbose notes for localizers for community members of Mozilla's Localization (L10n) effort:

Stay tuned for more information for internalization (i18n).

Localization

Localization (often abbreviated to "L10n" in computing contexts) of Firefox Reality refers to the ongoing process of adapting Firefox Reality for a specific region or language by translating text and adding locale-specific components.

Firefox Reality L10n builds on the internationalization ("i18n") provided by the Android operating system. The most visible user-facing component of this is the language and script used in the user interface. All user-facing strings of text used in Firefox Reality are gathered into a strings XML file and the contents of this file are translated between supported languages using Mozilla's community-driven volunteer translation system.

Do you think support for your preferred language and script can be improved? We invite you to contribute. Contributions are managed through Mozilla's Pontoon system.

Here (in alphabetical order) are direct links to the translations for Firefox Reality for each of the supported languages:
