1541430 - Update localized meta data in snapfile

Status: NEW

(Firefox Build System :: Task Configuration, task)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

In https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/taskcluster/docker/firefox-snap/firefox.desktop, there's a ton of localized meta data.

But it seems that it's only filled for a couple of locales.

For the open new window and open new private window, we can hook in to existing strings, https://transvision.mozfr.org/string/?entity=browser/chrome/browser/browser.dtd:syncedTabs.context.openInNewWindow.label&repo=gecko_strings and https://transvision.mozfr.org/string/?entity=browser/chrome/browser/browser.dtd:syncedTabs.context.openInNewPrivateWindow.label&repo=gecko_strings.

I'm not sure about

Name=Firefox Web Browser
Comment=Browse the World Wide Web
GenericName=Web Browser

and our branding position on those. If I understand bug 1390071, we just took what Ubuntu had at the time. CCing mkaply to see if we should change this.

Yeah, we should tailor this to exactly what we want. Need to find someone who uses Ubuntu that knows where those strings show up.

Thanks for filing this issue, Pike! I agree the situation is not ideal. I think this bug might be a dupe of bug 1390152. Please let me know what you think.

I've seen that bug, and I decided to not make perfect be the enemy of good ;-) Updating the existing file is relatively straight-forward (in particular if we use the API linked on the transvision pages), while a multi-locale file build setup thingie seems to be in the far future?

Got it 👍

Just to make sure I follow, who would be the best suited to update these strings?
