AI Controversy Forces End of Mozilla’s Japanese SUMO Community
Quoting: AI Controversy Forces End of Mozilla’s Japanese SUMO Community —
The Japanese branch of Mozilla’s Support Mozilla (SUMO) community—responsible for localizing and maintaining Japanese-language support documentation for Firefox and other Mozilla products (consisting of Japanese native speakers)—has officially disbanded after more than two decades of voluntary work.
The decision, announced yesterday, marks the end of one of Mozilla’s oldest and most dedicated localization groups.
SUMO, short for Support Mozilla, is the umbrella project for Mozilla’s user support platform, support.mozilla.org, that brings together volunteers and contributors worldwide who translate, maintain, and update documentation, tutorials, and troubleshooting guides for Firefox, Thunderbird, and other Mozilla products.
