Localization at Mozilla happens in a tight loop between development and localizer involvement. We're going to show how this works on Firefox for Desktop, and how it works for our Android projects. We show how we get to multiple testable builds a day, and how we mitigate the bad parts.

Axel is working on a new breed of localization tool, bringing together localization workflows and UX as you can see it in Integrated Development Environments (IDE). In short, an ILE uses UX paradigms like code completion to implement translation suggestions and the like. As Axel can't spell, the pathway to being a lucky localizer is dubbed "aisle", a web based ILE with both server- and client-side tools. He's going to show a demo of how that will look.
