Loading line, Dutch achievements and lighter pages

A thin line now shows when a page is on its way, achievements appear in Dutch where Xbox has them, and pages are lighter on phones.

You can now see when a page is on its way.Some pages, like big profiles, take a few seconds to put together. Until now, clicking a link to one of them looked like nothing had happened. - A thin line now pulses along the top of the screen while the next page is loading. It only shows up if the wait is longer than a quarter of a second, so quick pages look the same as before. - Screen readers announce "Loading…" at the same moment. - If your device is set to reduce motion, the line stays still instead of pulsing. Dutch achievements: Achievement names and descriptions now appear in Dutch wherever Xbox has a Dutch version, for Dutch and Belgian Dutch readers. More arrive as we collect them. We also fixed a few games where Xbox sent Japanese or Chinese text instead of French, Spanish or Dutch: those lines now show in English. Achievement names also have the same black outline as their descriptions. Lighter pages, especially on phones - Search results, profiles and Finish Soon load game art at the size it's shown, instead of full-size posters. A profile on a phone now downloads about a third as much and shows up about twice as fast in our tests. - The logo and the Diamond and Mythic badges are now small, modern images. - The Games page shows its first cover sooner. Behind the scenes, we've also improved how our background jobs work together to reduce database conflicts and help new Xbox store games reach CompletionLab reliably, and very large Xbox libraries no longer time out while syncing.
