-### L10n extraction
-
-The localization process is very similar to [how we do it for addons-frontend](https://addons-frontend.readthedocs.io/en/latest/i18n/#updating-locales): locales are always updated on the `master` branch, any PR that changes or introduces new localized strings should be merged on `master` first.
-
-In order to update the locales (when new localized strings are added to the codebase), run the following script from the `master` branch. This script automates _all_ the steps described in the addons-frontend docs, without any confirmation step.
