This is the meta bug to track all required languages for FxOS v1.2. Individual bugs will be created for each required language. This bug will be closed when all required translations for FxOS v1.2 are completed.

we probably need some way to track as a 

"requested locale" --- when bd hears of a partner with interest

and then the transition to a

"committed locale" when we have a team in place, a partial translation done for evaluation, and we have scoped and evaluated all the other technical issues around delivering a locale such as the things listed here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:B2G/Adding_Locales
 maybe status = new means requested and status = assigned means committed or tracking and on pace to deliver.
+1, let's use 'status = new' for requests on the launguage specific bugs, and 'stuat = assigned' when it is approved and committed
Should we even file a bug for a 'requested locale'?

I think giving the l10n team a heads up makes sense, but why file a bug for something that we *may* want to do?

I'm afraid it will cause confusion.  I'm okay with what's in comment 4, but would rather keep things clean.

I'd like to error on the side of starting the conversations about a locale earlier rather than later, and would actually like to make the final commitment closer to the point when we have most of the work done.   that reduces risk dramatically.  the only way to to that is to file bugs early.

I don't think having a bunch of "new" localization bugs on file will create much of a problem.  We have done similar tracking for 80+ locales on the desktop for similar kinds of tracking issues.   We can get our "clean" list with a simple query adjustment that picks up just the "assigned" bugs and removes the "new" bugs from the list.

Please make this bug track individual languages only. The language list doesn't block anything, nor do particular feature block this bug. They may block particular languages that are tracked by this bug and thus show up deeper in the dependency tree.

Right. Meta bugs don't block the release themselves - only the actionable dependencies do. This should be removed from the blocking list.

Not blocking on any meta bugs - nom the dependencies that are actionable.
