Add "Japanese Filters" and "Turkish Filters" to Adblock Plus recommended filter Lists

Background / User story

User Story

As a user I want to have filter lists for my region so that I can have a better browsing experience

Based on our last year data we have a lot of users in Japan and Turkey, but these regions are not covered by filter lists, therefore we:

  • receive a lot of user reports

  • complains from monetization unit because their acceptable ads are showing together with the unblocked ads

  • the other adblockers are already covering these regions while we are not

  • Include list in the filter list delivery system

  • Legal approval

Related internal issue: https://jira.eyeo.com/browse/FD-4147

Acceptance Criteria

What to change

  • Design: N/A
  • Research: N/A
  • Spec: N/A
  • Legal: Approved according to Filters Development team.
  • Development: Update @adblockinc/rules dependency to bring in the Turkish and Japanese filter lists.

Hints for testers

Japanese and Turkish filter lists should be included in the language drop-down selector in the Settings page, and should be preinstalled for users with the respective language when the extension is installed.

No changes have been made as part of this issue, since we already upgraded the @adblockinc/rules dependency as part of #1491 (closed).

Hints for translators

None.
