Comment (by acat): > Have you checked whether the patch is a good upstreaming idea as-is? I wonder in particular if the en-US strings will always be available in, say fr, builds that don't come with fr lang packs. That's a very nice point, I missed this one. Indeed, Firefox localized builds do not have these, I only tested with language packs... Good that you realized before https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D35815 landed, since it was accepted. I'm not sure what's the best way to make this upstreamable. I think it's not realistic to try to make the localized messages not accessible to web content, so I think making available these en-US locales in localized builds is the only way. I will take a look and try to see how difficult it is to do this, and update https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1561322. The approach is the same, so whatever is accepted in that bug should also apply here. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30683#comment:7> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
