Worked extensively on localization and internationalization migrations within the thunderbird/thunderbird-l10n repository, focusing on transitioning UI components and workflows to the Fluent localization system. Over eight months, delivered eight feature migrations, including calendar context menus, task filtering, message retention, and Bulgarian language support for calendar and spam-related features. Leveraged JavaScript, Fluent, and FTL to modernize string management, introduce pluralization support, and standardize terminology across the UI. Prioritized maintainability and translation accuracy by removing outdated DTD entries, consolidating templates, and aligning with modern i18n practices, resulting in a more scalable, consistent, and translator-friendly localization pipeline for Thunderbird’s front end.
