fxa-content-server/locale

l10n

This directory contains translated strings for all supported locales. Strings are extracted using a gettext compatible extractor, generating PO template files.

Adding new strings

If you add a new string to the app or server, you'll need to wrap it in a gettext call so it can be extracted. In a mustache template, that will look like {{#t}}My new string{{/t}} and in a JavaScript it will look like t("My new string") (t is an alias for gettext).

After you've added new strings to source, you'll need to extract them and update the .pot files, using grunt:

grunt extract-l10n

This will also update the other locales with any new strings.

Updating translations

Translators will update the .po files in this repo directly. To convert the new translations into JSON for the app to use, run:

grunt po2json

The JSON is not included under version control– they're regenerated on each deployment.
