Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Messaging System, defect, P1)

Description

STR:
I'm not sure if there's a pref to control the "Say hello" modal, but you'll need an instance of Firefox (or maybe just a new profile) where you haven't navigated to Firefox View before.

1. Download a non-English localized build

• Or change the locale by downloading the appropriate langpack from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-l10n/linux-x86_64/xpi/ and using Services.locale.requestedLocales = ["langcode-Langcode"].

1. Change web content language in about:preferences#general to a non-English language
2. Restart browser to ensure Firefox has changed all of the localized elements
3. Navigate to Firefox View

Expected:

• The "Say hello to FIrefox View" modal is localized

Actual:

• The "Say hello to Firefox View" modal is in English

Venetia -- I think this prompt is coming form the Messages side, correct?

Yes - I will investigate. I will also edit bug

@tgiles What build/ locale were you on?

Comment 4

[Tim Giles [:tgiles]]

I set my locale to German in this particular instance. Haven't tested with other locales/languages. I tested this locally, I haven't tried with a Nightly localized build but I'm assuming the issue will reproduce in that case too.

based on https://transvision.flod.org/string/?entity=browser/browser/newtab/asrouter.ftl:firefoxview-spotlight-promo-title&repo=gecko_strings, we can confirmed that DE has not been localized yet. Other locales/languages have been translated -- zn-cn, ru confirmed.

I have verified this issue using the latest Firefox Nightly 108.0a1 DE (Build ID: 20221023100414) on Windows 10x64, macOS 12.6 and Linux Mint 20.2x64 and I can confirm the following:

• The "Say Hello to Firefox View" spotlight is correctly localized on DE locales.
