Russian Language Pack is broken since PM 30.0

Unread post by Psycho-A » 2022-03-17, 22:55

After update PM to 30.0, the Russian language is missing on most of browser pages (except Addons page), although the language pack addon has been updated together with browser and looks valid. I tried to reinstall addon, checked locale in about:config and used PM Locale switcher - no result.

I spent some time verifying the strings are there, and they are, but eventually found out that some language packs didn't get properly updated in terms of their manifests, and some did. So major parts of the browser would not in fact get localized as a result. Since I didn't check every language, I missed this issue.
I'll go through those tomorrow and update them, and when they are dropped on the addons site a simple extension update check should pull the updated ones down.

It is ok but not so good. The text label on the main blue button is "Firefox" now. I hope devs knows it.

BTW I can help with translating probably.

P.S. I found many branding errors. Many strings with "Firefox" on Crowdin (found this link in other thread).

Please feel free to help and improve strings on CrowdIn. We really need to depend on you all to get the quality back up after the structural change needing retranslation (which obviously didn't go as well as it seemed...)

Ok. I will try. But I don't know what to do with branding. I feel I shouldn't touch too much. Some strings was not translated in old version (29.4.4). For example the message from "About Pale Moon" window. Anyway I have added some translations (Firefox->Pale Monn etc). I hope it will help you.

Probably there are some more difficult errors to fix. I mean errors in the translation itself. I will check already translated strings. But it will take longer.
