Incomplete Dutch (nl) translation in folder pane

This is for an IMAP account.

In the mobile app, the Dutch localization is incomplete in the folder list/navigation drawer. Only "Postvak IN" (Inbox) is translated to Dutch — the other folders remain in English.

Could you please translate these folders to Dutch as well, similar to what my other screenshot shows, another mail app where all default folders are fully translated: Postvak IN, Concepten, Verzonden, Prullenbak, Ongewenst, Postvak UIT, Archief?

2 screenshots attached: other app-your appother app for comparison

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Hi @slawomir59,

As you can see on https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/thunderbird/ Thunderbird for Android is fully translated and for a while now.

Because this is IMAP, the names of the folders depend on the names of the software the provider uses for his mailservice. Not every mailsoftware has localized foldernames.

Can you tell me if you see translated foldernames for the same account in another mailapp?

Translations dutch in google in chrome are good. Why not use that in firefox ?

This "idea" is about Thunderbird for Android, not about webmail in Firefox.

I have moved this to "discussion", because it was perceived to be a bug, not an idea.

Based on Fjoerfoks' findings it would seem this is also not a bug.
