L10n:Becoming an Official Localization: Difference between revisions

At Mozilla, we have four release channels: <b>Central</b> (which produces the Nightly build), <b>Aurora</b>, <b>Beta</b>, and <b>Release</b>. Builds of the product are pulled from locale-specific code repositories stored in hg (our version control system for Mozilla products).  

When a L10n team is ready to put their train in motion (i.e., produce their first, official, localized build), a locale registration bug is created and their localized code is placed into a L10n repository (repo) within hg. This is typically done by the L10n drivers. The first builds are Aurora builds pulled from their repo in the <b>Aurora channel</b>. This is the channel in which the team will localize each new version (i.e., train car. Becoming clearer?), every six weeks. Once their L10n work is done for each version, it is submitted for review by the L10n drivers.
