1275358 - Reword action extensions to include Firefox and Beta

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for iOS :: General, defect)

Description

[Ryan Feeley [:rfeeley]]

Attachment: action-extension.png

When choosing to enable action extensions in iOS, labels "Send Tab" and "View Later" have no icons and therefore have no discoverability for Firefox users.

To make matters worse, the beta version of Firefox adds a duplicate item.

CURRENT:
Send Tab
Send Tab
View Later
View Later

PROPOSED:
Send Tab to Firefox
Send Tab to Firefox β
View Later in Firefox
View Later in Firefox β

SHORTER VERSION:
Send to Firefox
Send to Firefox β
Later in Firefox
Later in Firefox β

This should be relatively easy, _but_ we are not already localizing the View Later or Send To extensions.

sleroux: should I proceed?

I'd say go for it since its just the titles and we branched yesterday so I can't imagine it would be difficult to rexport. :st3fan?

Here's the results of my investigation: 

1. We can do string substitution in the Info.plist files. Currently, $(MOZ_BUNDLE_DISPLAY_NAME) is a handy variable for the name of the app.
2. None of our extensions have localized Info.plist files. Each of them require a InfoPlist.strings file. This is straightforward to do, and we should probably do this for each of the 
3. It is not straightforward to do both. That is to say: it is not possible (out the box) to do string substitution in the InfoPlist.strings file. Doing both involves adding build steps, which at this late stage, and for this many users feels risky.

My recommendation is thus: we close this bug and open another to localize the View Later and Send To extensions.

Sounds like a plan. James, will you file the bug?
