The momentum of the Mozilla Philippines Community Localization Team shifted from Firefox web browser (desktop) to Firefox OS during the last 2 Localization Sprints held 18 Mar 2015 and 08 Apr 2015. These sessions are of the come-and-go — participants may come and go; they are not required to stay all throughout the 6-hour sprints.

With guidance and assistance from Peiying Mo, Tagalog is now a module in Bugzilla. Not only that, the Web Localization Dashboard for Tagalog saw lots of activities: notably, Zippy was translated 100% to Tagalog.

These sessions were attended by Tagalog localizers in person (at the MozSpaceMNL) and online (some were in Vidyo and/or IRC).

Recent updates of Firefox OS 2.1 and up revealed that Tagalog is now a language option:

Please do take note that this is still a work in progress. Sincere thanks to all Tagalog localizers who are persevering to finish the translation 100%.

Mabuhay!
