Hello Localizers,
Though the request is for the following locales, if your locale is not
listed here but your community would like to create one, please read on.Project name: Firefox key terminology localization review

Source file folder:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_ePyHF9_L4-_WDPuM_0fdgmCfskSpRs5
(version 1: 79 terms)Background: The terms in the list is created for Firefox products. The
localized terms are put together by our localization vendor by looking them
up in https://transvision.mozfr.org. Our localization vendors will
reference to these terms whenever they are asked to work on Mozilla
projects. This will ensure terminology consistency between products, web
projects, and marketing content. This is a working document. We expect new
terms to be added on a quarterly basis. Terms used in marketing content for
Mozilla advocacy content will be added in the future.Access to the file:

then provide in “Suggestion” column the different term to be used and
“Reason” column to explain why.- There are a few empty cells that are highlighted in YELLOW. These are
terms that the agency couldn’t find in Transvision and may have been missed
unintentionally. Please fill those cells if you can. Do NOT change the cell
color.- Once you are done with your locale, please send me an email.
- Deadline: July 22. This is purely indicative. If you need more time,
let me know.Locales not listed in the top 12:

file
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Gt599WUJS_qrDwtsXHcQEYqvWX0ovWbgpNL1jbyGpVM/edit#gid=1740826486,
add the terms in the “Locale code” column.- Collaborate with others in the community to ensure the accuracy of the
localized terms.- The terms should agree with how they are used in the actual products.
