 #* If you are making changes to the Metro Firefox source code, it's useful to start desktop Firefox from separate installation rather than your objdir, so you don't need to close it each time you rebuild.
 # To launch Metro Firefox, run <code>firefox.exe -no-remote</code> (or <code>./mach run</code>) and then press the ''Windows 8 Touch'' menu button.

 Note you might have to fiddle with access permissions a bit. Opening everything up to Everyone saves a lot of time, but might not be the most secure environment, depending on your situation.
-=== Diagnosing Command Execute Handler Issues ===
+=== Diagnosing Launch Issues ===
 The CEH handles program launch on Windows 8. It's a small win32 program that Explorer launches when the browser is invoked. If issues arise, there are some debugging features built into the program to help diagnose issues.

 To turn off debug output for the CEH, change the registry value from 01 to 00, or delete the CEHDump key.
+=== Localized Build ===
+Language Pack extensions are not yet enabled by default in Firefox for Metro, but you can use l10n binary repack method described [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Creating_a_Language_Pack here] to get localized build.
+To create localized binary repack for ''x-testing'' locale that is based on current sources from Mozilla Central create package locally via [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/pymake Pymake] instead of downloading it from Mozilla's ftp servers.
+<pre>
+$ cd ../firefox-build
+$ pymake package
+$ cd ../firefox-build/browser/locales
+$ pymake unpack
+$ pymake merge-x-testing LOCALE_MERGEDIR=$(PWD)/mergedir
+$ pymake installers-x-testing LOCALE_MERGEDIR=$(PWD)/mergedir
+</pre>
+Your localized repack will be available at ''../firefox-build/dist'' folder.
+Appropriate l10n sources (to use with --with-l10n-base parameter in .mozconfig) can be downloaded from the following locations:
+* [http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/ http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/x-testing]
+* [http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n/mozilla-aurora/ http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n/mozilla-aurora/x-testing]
+* [http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n/mozilla-beta/ http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n/mozilla-beta/x-testing]
+* [http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n/mozilla-release/ http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n/mozilla-release/x-testing]
+Please note that you may need to install [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Compare-locales compare-locale] python script to successfully perform merge locale step.
