Team: We need to improve quality of Gujarati translations
Incorrect Translations
Upgraded Firefox for my dad, and that led to this screen. Essentially, it says that “Your Firefox has been upgraded to the latest edition”. But the translation to Gujarati changes the meaning. If I were to translate this Gujarati back, it would read “You have been upgraded/improved to the latest edition of Firefox”. C’mon, it’s Firefox that got upgraded, not myself! 
Now, it’s my team that’s done most of these translations! These were done by the same people who did initial Utkarsh localization work. I have done translations myself and I know the difficulties to get them right.
But hey, is it time we do a QA on our translations and get them more up to date? More and more Gujarati users are coming online, and we really want to make it easier for them to use the web.
What say? Kartik, Ankit, Shweta? Others?

If you love Firefox and want to spread some Firefox love, the Mozilla community and CampusReps have came up with a great e-card which you can send to your friends and relatives for free. Isn’t it great? Go to http://www.brinkhurstdesign.co.uk/mozilla/ to send it to your friends and family.
The cute fox you see on e-card is a mascot from Japan that has charmed people worldwide. His name is Foxkeh.
Happy Holi!

Firefox in your country survey
Mozilla is currently running a “Firefox in your country” survey to better understand how users are using Firefox around the world. The survey is available at:
Firefox in your country – Survey
The survey will take just two minutes to complete. But will go a long way in improving Firefox! It revolves around your use of Firefox and how we can get more people use Firefox.
The survey is coming to an end this Friday!! And we need more participation from India. Mozilla Foundation will be using this information to make better decisions in the future about how to grow Firefox and Mozilla in India.
I request you to go ahead and fill it up! Make the world a better place by people getting a better browser!
