This is the email message sent to someone invited

************

Subject: Diventa un Mozilliano

Hi there. Francesco Lodolo (xxxxx) has invited you to join mozillians.org, the community directory for Mozilla contributors. You can create a community profile for yourself and search for other contributors to learn more about them or get in touch.

Personal message:

Join Mozillians: https://mozillians.allizom.org/it/register/?code=xxxxx

Subject is correctly localized, but the content of the message is not.

Code: https://github.com/mozilla/mozillians/blob/master/apps/phonebook/templates/phonebook/invite_email.txt

It seems that these strings are marked as fuzzy in messages.po (line 1050)

I can't really figure out how string extraction works, but could it be that it's just ignoring .txt files?

https://github.com/mozilla/funfactory/blob/master/funfactory/settings_base.py#L135

For example I see that Bedrock has that option changed in settings/base.py

Still a valid bug.

Comment 3

Fixing this bug will raise another issue:

Since this is an invitation email and we don't know the language of the recipient, why should I prefer X language over Y when sending the invitation email?

Good question. Maybe we should suggest the localized text and subject and let the user modify the invite if they want.
