 > For about:tor, we included strings for both DuckDuckGo and Startpage
 (someone had the idea that someday we could let users choose which search
 engine to use from about:tor).  See:

 Could we put a string into source on transifex only when it's translatable
 and the translation will actually be built into next release? It will save
 translators lots of time, and no chance to make mistakes.

 > How does DuckDuckGo get set as the URL bar search engine in non-English
 bundles?  Is the search box also configured to use DuckDuckGo?  Which
 should be fixed -- about:tor or the other places?
