Hi Jean, we're probably going to try a new method for localizing these snippets (Pontoon to translate, SVN to store localized strings), so we'll open bugs for individual locales only to ping them if they don't translate strings in the first days.

More details coming as soon as I have them.

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

One doubt still: these snippets are going to be used inside Firefox (products), aren't they?

> sr-cyrl
> sr-latn

For products (and also mozilla.org) we only have sr-cyrl (short-coded to "sr"), no sr-latn, so we should not really need the latter. Can you confirm that?

[Jean Collings]

Hey Flod, yes let's use sr-cryl (disregard the sr-latn request).

The other thing is can we expand this snippet copy "Customize Firefox with your nation's flag and celebrate the global spirit of community." to locales that are in this Flags Collection theme?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/mozilla/flags/

We want to expand to more countries for this snippet.

I checked the first page, and I really doubt we can cover that, especially in this timeframe (for several locales we don't even have a localization team).

If you tell me that we have more time, we can try and see what happens.

BTW, is something like this enough for you to grab snippets or need something else?

I'm still missing 8 locales, I'll start filing bugs today to get their attention

This is great, I can use this for sure! Thank you!

Perfect. You can also track the overall status by checking the dependencies of this bug, since these are the only locales missing.
