To be clear, I did not intend to blame the L10N community in any kind of way. We are extremely happy and impressed with the L10N help for this project and everyone has been doing an absolute great job dealing with this project. You all rock. I am not joking.
If there is anyone to blame then it is me messing up those scripts and not including all the strings in the builds. I think one of the problems of our current Test Flight program is that our test audience is not diverse enough. It would be ideal if we we have 4 or 5 people testing in each supported locale. But we don't. I think we currently have a small subset of the L10N people and then next to that mostly english and german testers. So that is not optimal. For the (internal) Aurora builds this is even worse I think. I'm sure we can find more testers but I don't know how to fix this in the short term. S.
