User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Actual results:

While using Firefox, I have noticed that the official translation for "New Private Window" is "Nové okno v režime Súkromné prehliadanie".
This by itself isn't a wrong translation but there are still two things about it that bother me a little:

1. In my opinion a better translation could be: "Nové súkromné okno", which is shorter and expresses the original intent just as good.
2. String "Nové okno v režime Súkromné prehliadanie" is the longest of all, so it decides the width of the whole menu.

With a shorter string, this menu could be slimmer (closer to the original size) and thus look better.

Hi mthw0.

Thank you for reporting this. I am CCing Juraj of the Slovak team. In the meantime, you can submit a suggestion for better alternative directly in Pontoon, which is a web tool we use to translate Firefox.

Juraj, I am not sure if you were notified automatically when this bug was created. If not, here is how to setup the notifications. Personally I stumbled here by accident, I only watch Czech l10n bugs.

OK, I added my suggestion into Pontoon, hope I covered everything there.

I have edited all strings containing Private Browsing/Windows so I consider this bug to be fixed.
