I see we added both da and ja successfully to the multilocale build via the logs.
I'm not sure about this.

I know some localizers have abandoned mozilla-central in favor of only localizing mozilla-aurora.  It looks like that's true of these three locales.

I'm not sure if that means we want a different set of multilocale locales for m-c than m-a, or if we want to point those users to the aurora apk, or what, but from a RelEng perspective, things appear to be working as designed.

Resolving WORKSFORME.

There's a bigger bug about what to do with locales not working on nightlies anymore, and if we'd clean up all-locales this would go away.

Not sure if there'd be similar problems for doing this for mobile as for desktop.

Resolving this worksforme, though there should be localized strings in some corners of the product, like error console messages. Like things that are old and far away from the native UI.

Just wondering, is there a bug number for the bigger bug?

I'm comfortable with the WFM.

Bug#655129 track the first batch of locales no longer being actively developed on m-c. Bug#713159 tracks the next batch of locales.

As requested by l10n, RelEng continues to generated these localized nightly builds on m-c until we have custom updates to migrate any desktop users of those locales to mozilla-aurora. Bug#657789 tracks the custom update work.
