[Bug 1833592] Re: Flash on Firefox or Chromium as snap not explained

 

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  net-install-flash.page explains how you can conveniently make Flash work
  with conventionally installed web browsers. Nothing is said about
  Firefox or Chromium as snap.
  
  Considering the plan to drop the .deb packages for Chromium, and only
  make that browser available via a snap, it has become more important
  that the docs explain how you make Flash work in that environment. With
  this SRU we add such a section to the disco docs, i.e. the latest stable
  release.
  
- The new section will be poorly translated to start with, but making the
- information available in at least English carries greater weight.
+ The translators were notified about this change:
+ 
+ https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
+ translators/2019-June/007549.html
+ 
+ So the new strings have been translated into some languages. But while
+ translations into some languages are missing, making the information
+ available in at least English carries greater weight.
  
  [Test Case]
  
-  * Install ubuntu-docs 19.04.3 from disco-proposed.
+  * Install ubuntu-docs 19.04.3 from disco-proposed.
  
-  * Open Help and navigate to "Networking, web & email" -> "Web
-    browsers" -> "Install the Flash plug-in".
+  * Open Help and navigate to "Networking, web & email" -> "Web
+    browsers" -> "Install the Flash plug-in".
  
-  * Find the section "Web browser provided as a snap package" at the
-    bottom of the page.
+  * Find the section "Web browser provided as a snap package" at the
+    bottom of the page.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
  Negligible.
