It's in global_locale_dom_dom_properties.strings

MDC really should fix the redirects for these, since those URLs are shipping in all consumers of Gecko and Gecko 1.9.0 is well past l10n freeze.

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/dom/locales/en-US/chrome/dom/dom.properties in Gecko 1.9.0 contains the following URLs:

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:element.addEventListener
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:element.removeEventListener
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:element.dispatchEvent

As Marcello noted, they redirect to 404 pages on MDC:

https://developer.mozilla.org/DOM:element.addEventListener/en
https://developer.mozilla.org/DOM:element.removeEventListener/en
https://developer.mozilla.org/DOM:element.dispatchEvent/en

instead of the actual pages:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/element.addEventListener
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/element.removeEventListener
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/element.dispatchEvent

I did a spot-check of some common locales, and Polish was attempting to link to localized versions of those articles (see http://mxr.mozilla.org/l10n/source/pl/dom/chrome/dom/dom.properties); those links 404 in the same manner the English ones do.

Looks to be fixed.
