2035322 - Update sports suggestions l10n string for scheduled games

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, task, P1)

Description

[Drew Willcoxon :adw]

Update the urlbar-result-sports-team-names string so that the home team is listed first and replace "at" with "vs". That way the ordering of the teams in the string will match the ordering of their logos in the suggestion.

STR for QA:

Please do these STR with both Nova enabled and disabled (browser.nova.enabled):

1. Set these prefs to enable online Suggest and sports suggestions:

browser.urlbar.quicksuggest.online.available = true
browser.urlbar.sports.featureGate = true
browser.urlbar.merino.providers = sports

2. Type a query to trigger a sports suggestion, e.g. los angeles game. Hopefully a scheduled game will come up, one without scores. Please try different US city names if you need to.
3. Verify the text for the scheduled game is shown as "Team 1 vs Team 2"

I have verified this on the latest Nightly 152.0a1 (Build ID: 20260429203445) on Windows 10, macOS 26.4, and Ubuntu 24.04.

• The scheduled game is shown as "Team 1 vs Team 2".
• The played game is shown as "Team 1 • Team 2".
• Verified with both nova enabled/disabled.

I will leave the "qe-verify+" flag set until I verify on Beta 151.0b5 as soon as the build is available.
