I use Flatpak version of Firefox and and this stings comes from Firefox.desktop file (https://searchfox.org/mozilla-release/source/taskcluster/docker/firefox-flatpak/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop#274) on line 274.

Snap version of Firefox contains this string translated (https://searchfox.org/mozilla-release/source/taskcluster/docker/firefox-snap/firefox.desktop#216) on line 216.

Sorry, the last line incorrect. Snap version does not contains this strings or it's translation.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Startup and Profile System' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

@flod, is this something we can fix?

Looks like this string was added in bug 1631400 :-\ (with only a cs translation).

@librejeans
Are you on Nightly/DevEdition, or release? The bug mentions only those versions.

@johan
By any chance, do you know from where the existing translations in that file came from? Mihai is the person who originally worked on it.

There is no string mentioning "Profile Manager" in Firefox. One way to fix it would be to expose a string, e.g. in about:profiles, get translations, then manually update the .desktop file with translations.

If this indeed happens only on Nightly and DevEdition, it might not be worth the effort.

It's ordinary Flatpak version from Flathub. All info is here.

Looks like this is in release, not just Nightly and DevEdition? Is it expected?

Thanks for finding out bug 1631400! I didn't know where this file was until I looked at the patch[1] from that bug. The .desktop file is located there[2]. For the record, this file hasn't changed in 2 years and only 2 locales contain the translated string. Thus, either no one noticed on release it before, or release was changed not so long ago.

Yes, we need to translate the string to other languages.

Fedora package has some more translations:

[Desktop Action profile-manager-window]
Name=Open the Profile Manager
Name[cs]=Správa profilů
Name[de]=Profilverwaltung öffnen
Name[fr]=Ouvrir le gestionnaire de profils
Exec=firefox --ProfileManager
