February 2026 was focused on strengthening localization foundations and UI consistency across thunderbird/thunderbird-l10n. Key features delivered include migrating Move To / Copy To to Fluent UI localization to improve UI consistency and accessibility; adopting a Fluent-based localization framework for FilterEditor, covering log messages, validation strings, log formatting templates, and plural forms; and expanding localization coverage for cookies, attachments, and remote content with accurate pluralization and counts. Additionally, legacy PluralForm.sys.mjs usage was removed from critical UI paths (e.g., mailWindow.js, filterlistdialog), reducing technical debt and aligning with modernization efforts. These changes stabilize localization across modules, improve user experience for multilingual users, and position the project for smoother future internationalization work. Major bugs fixed include Bug 2012355 (Move To / Copy To migration), Bug 2012697 (FilterEditor localization and Fluent migration), and Bug 1935334 (removing PluralForm.sys.mjs usage across UI paths). Overall impact: enhanced accessibility and UI consistency, broadened localization coverage, and reduced maintenance burden, enabling faster delivery of future features with reliable i18n behavior. Technical highlights: Fluent localization, pluralization across multiple components, migration away from legacy PluralForm.sys.mjs.
