-Free thought: Ending a sentence with a preposition is nothing to be afraid of.

Well, that might true for English ;-) I would suggest to drop this for localization.

> probably overdue.
Does this mean "skip school" (had to Google it…) or something else?

It took me several minutes to understand this (scoop as in icecream vs news). We really should not be exposing English wordplays for localization.

Hey Flod, 

So glad you think three dimensionally when it comes to languages. I would never have thought about how ending a sentence with a preposition would play out for nonenglish speakers. Let's drop that snippet. 


The term "hooky" can mean to skip school, but more broadly it means to put off a responsibility without explanation so you can pursue a leisure activity. If you don't feel the term "hooky" translates well, then we can drop that snippet. 

We can also drop the "scoop" newsletter sign up. Please replace the scoop snippet with these snippets:

-Join the fight for an Internet that’s open and accessible to everyone, everywhere. Sign up for the Mozilla newsletter to get involved.

-Be the Web-savviest person at the dinner table — or any table. Sign up for the Mozilla newsletter to get smart on the issues affecting your life online.

-Protect yourself, protect the Web. Sign up for the Mozilla newsletter to get tips and tricks that keep us all safe online.

I will add links for the other newsletter sign up snippets above. 

Thank you for helping me through this process. 

Let me know if you need anything else. 

-Wes

Hi Jean,

All the languages initially requested are complete. pt-BR is 2 characters longer than maximum limit.  This will be fixed hopefully soon, if you still need it.   

Feel free to close the bug if there is no additional work to be done for this.

Peiying, the link provided:

Some translated snippets have strange number/special characters injected throughout the copy. Can you review and correct please?

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Those are simply Unicode encoded characters. If you don't plan to read them via other code, look at
