Comment (by acat):
> Have you checked whether the patch is a good upstreaming idea as-is? I
wonder in particular if the en-US strings will always be available in, say
fr, builds that don't come with fr lang packs.
That's a very nice point, I missed this one. Indeed, Firefox localized
builds do not have these, I only tested with language packs... Good that
you realized before https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D35815
landed, since it was accepted.
I'm not sure what's the best way to make this upstreamable. I think it's
not realistic to try to make the localized messages not accessible to web
content, so I think making available these en-US locales in localized
builds is the only way. I will take a look and try to see how difficult it
is to do this, and update
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1561322. The approach is the
same, so whatever is accepted in that bug should also apply here.
