I think it is either a duplicate or depends on bug 832060, marking as a dependency for now. Pike can you check if this is a dupe or not? Thanks

We're fixing this for beta and roll out the fix with 36. I've done a sign-off after a technical review, and given the relatively small updates to the actual translation, taking the fix for this technical problem looks like a good balance.

We're taking more updates as part of that, though we'd really like to get an honest translation update for Firefox again, too.

Removing bug 832060, 'cause it'd be nice to have that one fixed, but it's not related to the fix we're using.
