Portions of this content are ©1998–%(current_years by individual mozilla.org contributors. Content available under a <a href="%(url)s">Creative Commons license</a>. Note that a parentesis in for the year variable is missing, a typo. All the pages that use main.lang now crash, the whole site disappears in an error 500 for the locale because that string is in our footer. Bedrock should ignore strings malformed and just fallback to English, not black out the entire locale.
