1206544 - L10n for /mozorg/about/governance/*.html

Status: NEW

(www.mozilla.org :: L10N, defect)

Description

[YF (Yang)]

Request files:
Search the "/governance/" on https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/find/master.

p.s. these pages of "/policies/" subdirectory perhaps is lengthy and requires authority, we can choose to skip them, and upon request to open for l10n.


They have a strong driver for brand communication, and rarely change.

If we can localize them, I think it is a good.


In addition, it shows on the "About Mozilla" widget, appeared on some pages (like https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/leadership/, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/forums/), the link may lead to an unexpected jump (from native language to English). Although, this case also occurs for the "Forums" link.

I don't believe localizing these pages is a good use of our limited resources. 

We're already struggling to keep fundamental pages up to date in a lot of locales, just pick some random ones and look at the amount of not localized strings, and graph over time
https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/webdashboard/

Only 10 of our locales currently have zero missing strings.

I tried to take a closer look at the sub-pages

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/
Light on text, the risk of translating it is that it will lead to several pages in English. Definitely needed if we want to localize other sub-pages.

This has important information, also pretty long to localize. It could be a good candidate for an opt-in page.

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/organizations/
Relevant information, not completely sure how up to date. Also quite surprised to see my own community listed there.

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/
I think the target and size of these pages don't represent good candidate for localization.

Marking the bug as new in the meantime, let's see what others think.

@Jen
Are these pages going to be included in the content review for /about? I'd guess not.

Not right, as mentioned above, it currently appears in multiple localized pages, which is in fact already existed for several years.

This is a good community culture and governance shows.

I think this is a moderate amount of texts.

Like the "governance", we can translate the title and description only, and even add "(in English)". the users can more easily search and read the information.


We should not mark a "Deadline", add the possibility only, it does not seem to disrupt / forced increase the teams works.
