In Arabic translation for Mozilla, we transliterate the branding names;
Firefox and Mozilla Firefox, however I noticed that Ubuntu supplied
translation lacks the branding file and thus we get the English branding
which is bit annoying (personally it is annoying to the degree that I
always install the XPI file from Mozilla to get around this) any idea
about this issue?

What about translation updates after beta9, will there be an automated
sync with upstream?
