[FxA] RTL Testing copy - Send Tab to Device - period is in the wrong place

Affected versions
Tested on FF Beta 70.0b10 (Arabic build)

Affected platforms

• Windows 10
• Mac OSX 10.14

Prerequisites:
Make sure you have the AR RTL build and you are logged in with a FxA account.

Steps:

1- Open Firefox and click on the FxA icon from the toolbar
2- Click "Send Tab to Device"
3- Please observe the punctuation of the second line:
"Send a tab instantly to any device
.you're signed on"

Actual result:
The "Send Tab to Device" copy has the period in the incorrect order.
Please see the attached print-screen for a better understanding.

Expected result
The "Send Tab to Device" copy should have correct punctuation in English or else be translated to Arabic.

Also tested on Ubuntu 18.04 with FF Nightly 71.0a1(2019-10-1) and Beta 70.0b9 and the issue is still there.

This is because the page isn't fully localized yet (and we're displaying English on an Arabic page). It looks like Arabic is a couple months behind: https://pontoon.mozilla.org/ar/firefox-accounts/

Peiying - should we leave Arabic enabled on FxA?

:clouserw, In the past 12 months, less than 20 strings were translated. Is there a threshold in terms of % of completion to meet or the locale should be disabled?

I can send an email to the community to see if it will generate some activities. Overall, they have not been active across all projects. I don't expect any drastic change before the launch.

I don't know if there is an official one, but there probably should be. Alex is our Product owner -> ni?alex

I consulted with my colleagues on this. I was reminded that CSA studies have shown shipping something (partially localized) is better than nothing. I hope in this partial state, it encourages those who want to help with l10n would come forward and start contributing. Let's keep the locale. In the meantime, I will send an email to the locale managers.

Thanks Peiying. I will close this bug (and a few related).
