The bugzilla template should:
Most of this can be done by sharing a URL. The only thing remaining would be selecting the locale component.

Agreed, I can't create the URL until the new keyword is created though. Mostly trying to outline requirements for when the time comes.

We could use the whiteboard instead. Let's give bugzilla admins at least a day to respond to the bug I filed though. If they don't respond by tomorrow, we'll go with the whiteboard until they can create the new keyword.

The keyword has been created.
I took a stab at defining some bugmail filters for Mother Tongue. I don't use bugmail filters, so this is kind of new to me. I'd appreciate any feedback:
To receive notifications of new Mozilla Localization bugs that contain a keyword, you need to set up a series of bugmail filters. A prerequisite is that you are first watching the relevant components to your work (see Component Watching settings).
First you need an exclude filter to exclude all change notifications made to bugs in for locale components you are watching:
Field: __Any__
Product: Mozilla Localizations
Component: __Any__
Relationship: Watching
Changer: (empty)
Action: Exclude
Then you need an include filter to indicate that you want to receive notifications when a keyword is added to a Mozilla Localization bug for locale components you are watching (note that we only use the vendor-l10n-error keyword):
Field: Keyword
Product: Mozilla Localizations
Component: __Any__
Relationship: Watching
Changer: (empty)
Action: Include
And finally, to receive bugmail about relevant changes to those bugs, you'll need the following filters:
1) When there's a new comment on the bug:
Field: Comment created
Product: Mozilla Localizations
Component: __Any__
Relationship: Watching
Changer: (empty)
Action: Include
2) When a flag request has been changed on a bug:
Field: Flag Requestee
Product: Mozilla Localizations
Component: __Any__
Relationship: Watching
Changer: (empty)
Action: Include
3) When the bug has been assigned to a user:
Field: Assignee
Product: Mozilla Localizations
Component: __Any__
Relationship: Watching
Changer: (empty)
Action: Include
4) When the bug has been resolved:
Field: Resolution
Product: Mozilla Localizations
Component: __Any__
Relationship: Watching
Changer: (empty)
Action: Include
For the "following" part: I'm honestly not sure this will work. The first step excludes all mails from components you're watching, so I expect the next rules to not be applied (there's nothing left).
I also don't know if you could set up an include rule for Mozilla Localizations without watching the product first. The examples below seem to hint at that (e.g. Then an include filter to indicate that you want to receive notifications when a bug is created:
), so maybe they just need one rule, without watching the product at all
Field: Keyword
Product: Mozilla Localizations
Component: __Any__
Relationship: __Any__
Changer: (empty)
Action: Include
Maybe ask in #bmo
on Slack, to see if someone can confirm it?
The single error template looks good, for the second one I really feel like the entry barrier is way too high (I would give up) :-(
Thanks for taking a look at this :-)

This was part of the recommendations for complex filters in the bugmail filters section of preferences. Granted, I haven't done this before, so I'm only basing my assumptions on what they say there. I can ask in #bmo though.

I thought the same thing, so I added a prerequisite at the beginning that you have to be watching the product for these filters to work. Again, I'll ask in #bmo to be sure.

I imagine the second will rarely be used, but in order for the vendor to work through the feedback quickly on like 20+ translations, the feedback has to be well-structured and concise.
Do we still want to use Bugzilla to funnel all the linguistic feedback? How do we make it discoverable, especially feedback comes from mostly outside of Mozilla? So far, error reports come from a few channels:
Source of errors:
Who to be notified on the vendor side:
@flodolo given what I experienced this year, should we approach this differently? More fluidly in terms of how reports reach us?
How do we make it discoverable, especially feedback comes from mostly outside of Mozilla?
Most of the feedback comes from localizers, right?
I think Bugzilla is still the right place for it, because that's where bugs in localized products are normally reported. But there's no point in asking vendors to interact there, since we're moving everything to Jira for that side of things.
I think it's OK to fix errors ourselves, for sake of speed and possibly cost, but we need a way to report them back. If we use the keyword vendor-l10n-error
, it's easy to group them in search results, but it might be too much work. Maybe track a summary manually in a spreadsheet (locale, project, type of error) and then link to the bug for more details?

Correct. For mozilla.org content, copywriter has direct access to Smartling to make changes. I need to pull report to see activities, otherwise not obvious.

The reports could come from bugzilla or repo issue. I have kept a tracker here. After each report, I always relay the message to the responsible vendor. Let me know if we have a better way to keep a record of these. Do we need to write a document on how to fix the error (spreadsheet, Smartling platform, marketing followup), document it, relay the message to vendors, etc.

I feel like it's missing some important data:

I feel like it's missing some important data:
* Date when it was reported * If feedback was sent to the vendor * When it was fixed
Good points. I can add columns to include the information. The bugs are recorded in chronological order. The links of issues/bugs have dates in them - when the bugs were reported and fixed/closed. The vendor feedback is not documented explicitly.
Also the fix on our side means different things for different type of content. Mozilla.org is right away, and app store description would take longer.
Let me know if this is close to what you have in mind: - click on QualityIssues tab
What is the difference between "l10n update" and "production update"?
"Production" is misleading, it should be "Date fixed" (i.e. when the user started seeing the fixed version).
Note: the rest looks good to me, I think that covers everything we need.

We will discuss this at our 1on1. There is fix at the source (on the Smartling platform so TM is up to date) and the final fix that goes to production, which we don't always have complete control or visibility.
We need to define a feedback loop between localizers and Mother Tongue/Mozilla staff. This should seek to leverage bugzilla, as all parties have access to the platform.
The general idea would be:
Mother Tongue translates content -> Content is published to mozorg -> Localizers casually visit mozorg -> Localizers see an error with their language -> Localizers file a bug -> Mother Tongue acts on the bug.
This will require:
