TL;DR: On the November 2025 Mozilla Support Community call, Mozilla provided updates on the recent controversy from the Japanese Support Mozilla community quitting over AI, calling it a “miscommunication” and “misinterpretation”.

    Maybe I am missing something here, but to me this is just ensuring that all the documentation is the same for all languages.

    if some language provided additional information, or improved upon the original, this was currently only available for that language, while Mozilla now says; to provide this information to the “core language” so it can be automatically propagated to all languages.

      You are right, but what they did was to replace already localised articles with machine-trenslated ones, with no notice to the previois human localiser.
      And now articles will be automatically translated in every language, with no needed human reliew before going public. And there won’d be human review anyway, because there is no fun in just correcting AI slop. The fun is in localising. I would not dedicate my time to Mozilla for something I hate.
