Description

Attachment: err_translation_firefox.JPG

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:89.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/89.0

Steps to reproduce:

I entered URL=https://www.e-pagofacil.com/
It's a webpage (as a lot) that requires location permissions.
My setup language is Spanish(Argentina).

Actual results:

It shows the message asking for permissions. The message says: "¿Permitir que www.e-pagofacil.com acceda a sus contactos?". It's a wrong translation.

Expected results:

The meesage should say: "¿Permitir que www.e-pagofacil.com acceda a su ubicación?"

I've ended up here to file the same issue.

There is a tremendous difference between asking for permission to access to user's contact list ( "¿Permitir que www.e-pagofacil.com acceda a sus contactos?") and asking permission for user's geolocation ("¿Permitir que www.e-pagofacil.com acceda a su ubicación?").

Is very confussing to read that message in any website, because there is no contact list available in a desktop environment, and this mistranslation avoid the user to fully understand that the site is trying to offer a better experience using the user geolocation.

Looks like it was already fixed in Pontoon. It should be already available in Nightly, and we're hoping to update localizations in a dot release for 89.
