Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:61 pospeselr]:
 > Not sure I'm following gk regarding the strings.  The new onion-related
 strings are not hard-coded in the Page Info dialog, but pull from
 pippki.properties file using the pkiBundle.getBLAHString API (as does
 every other string lookup).

 That's right. But where does the translation come from? Like, how would
 that string look like in a, say, arabic Tor Browser? Clearly, it does not
 get translated by Mozilla as we only ship it in our patch set. But all our
 translations are done on Transifex either via Torbutton or Tor Launcher.
 Thus, the string is essentially hard-coded assuming the browser is falling
 back to en-US in case it can't find a string for the required locale. It
 might even break, not showing the dialog at all.

 > Should I be doing something else?

 We could try, see 5) in my comment:51.
