Checks

• If I have identified that the work is specific to a repository, I have removed "repository:addons-server" or "repository:addons-frontend"

┆Issue is synchronized with this Jira Task

[diox]

Note that both addons-frontend (config/default.js, see langs) and addons-server (src/olympia/core/languages.py, see AMO_LANGUAGES) need to be updated. In some cases the 2 weren't previously in sync, but they should be once this is done.

Is it worth me logging a new ticket to get these locale codes added to our notification email?

[diox]

I fixed the email to add the locales codes in the PR, it hasn't been merged yet.

I also fixed a bug which would lead a locale that was only present in one project and above the threshold to be added to the list we want to enable - found when looking at Hindi: it should not have been in the list, given that we don't have translations for the frontend at all in that locale.

[diox]

FWIW, if we were to make the threshold 70% right away, as of today this would also remove the following (on top of the list above that we are removing from production next week because they are below 40%):

• Bulgarian [bg]
• Danish [da]
• Finnish [fi]
• Kaqchikel [cak]
• Malay [ms]
• Norwegian (Bokmål) [nb-NO]
• Sinhala [si]
• Telugu [te]

In addition, we would keep the following but they are below 70% so this is a concern:

• Arabic [ar] (kept because it's a RTL language and we want at least a couple to ensure AMO works in RTL)
• Polish [pl]
• Spanish (Spain) [es-ES]

• Bulgarian [bg]

• Icelandic [is]
• Indonesian [id]
• Kaqchikel [cak]
• Malay [ms]
• Norwegian (Bokmål) [nb-NO]
• Norwegian (Nynorsk) [nn-NO]
• Punjabi (India) [pa-IN]
• Romanian [ro]
• Sinhala [si]
• Telugu [te]
• Thai [th]

In addition, we would keep the following but they are below 80% so this is a concern:

• Arabic [ar]
• Japanese [ja]
• Polish [pl]
• Spanish (Spain) [es-ES]

On frontend it looks good. -> languages removed would redirect to https://addons-dev.allizom.org/en-US/firefox/

In dev hub or rev tools I've a 404 with the languages removed. Example https://addons-dev.allizom.org/en-US/firefox/mn/developers/

[diox]

That's acceptable for /developers/ - it's not a new problem, and the previous pages were likely broken to some degree anyway due to the bad completion rate of translations in the old locale.
