@peiying2 this is because these areas of the site use DB data and cannot be easily localized by the typical l10n methods. We're going to look into options for localizing this content.

Looks like the issue is still not fixed.

Sorry, I closed this issue because there is no featured collection anymore.

Sorry, I closed this issue because there is no featured collection anymore.

Thanks for providing some background on the resolution. Let's close it then.

I think the bug is still valid though, because we have "Recommended Extensions" now and I suppose the problem persists.

I thought it was just the string change of the same "feature". If that's the case, let's fix it. It is a pretty important string come to think of it, if we want users to check out what's recommended.
