While importing the Firefox translations in Ubuntu to be included in language packs, we noticed that there is an error in the Norwegian Nynorsk translation that prevents the import. Here is the error message in the Launchpad XPI checker:

chrome/nn-NO/locale/browser/syncGenericChange.properties, line 7: 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode byte 0x5c in position 126: \ at end of string

It would be great if the Norwegian team could have a look at it, which would allow to import and ship the translation in Ubuntu. Thanks!

This was fixed fx 4.0+.

I ran a grep -R "\\\\$" * through the translation, and found no other instances for the Firefox nn-NO localization. However, for "Firefox Mobile" and Thunderbird there are still such cases.

Thank you for bringing up this, and feel free to reopen this bug if there are additional issues.
