== | == Localizing web-based parts of the Mozilla projects == | ||
This page outlines the work needed to localize the web presence of the Mozilla project. | |||
Our web presence is split in two types of pages: | |||
* | * Pages called directly from the products (Thunderbird start page, welcome pages for Firefox, release notes...) | ||
* | * Pages part of the Mozilla Web Network (mozilla.com, mozilla-europe.org, mozilla-world.org, mozilla-japan.org, developer.mozilla.org...) | ||
Pages called from the software like the start pages can be considered as being part of the products, these pages are called ''in-product'' pages. | |||
A more detailed explanation of the process is located on [https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Firefox_web_services_process Web L10n Productization process page]. | |||
= | = Localization of the in-product pages = | ||
== | == Firefox in-product pages == | ||
The Firefox in-product pages are a set of pages used to interact and give information to the end-user in his first steps with the browser or when a specific event (like an automatic upgrade) occurs. | |||
We currently have the following pages hosted on mozilla.org which have to be translated for '''every new locale''' of Firefox: | |||
* [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/19.0/firstrun/ | * [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/19.0/firstrun/ First-run page] | ||

== | == How to provide a translation for the Firefox/Thunderbird in-product pages == | ||
Here is the process: | |||
# | # Choose one person in your localization team to be the "web l10n" contact | ||
# | # This person should contact Pascal Chevrel (pascal_DOT_chevrel_AT_mozilla_DOT_org) and explain him what language you want to add, when you expect your localization to be released (at least as alpha), who does what in your localization team... | ||
# | # look at the web dashboard to see what pages are to be done: | ||
https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/webdashboard/ | https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/webdashboard/ | ||
= | = Localization of the official websites = | ||
== | == How to provide a translation of www.mozilla.org == | ||
Most of the content on www.mozilla.org is available in English only, but we are interested in localizing key pages about the Mozilla community, such as the [http://www.mozilla.org/about/manifesto Mozilla Manifesto]. | |||
== | == How to localize the addons site (addons.mozilla.org) == | ||
You will find below a separate page with the details on localizing the addons site: | |||
[http://wiki.mozilla.org/Update:Localizers | [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Update:Localizers Steps to localizing AMO in a new language] | ||
To localize add-ons, there's a community site: | |||
[http://babelzilla.org/ BabelZilla] | [http://babelzilla.org/ BabelZilla] | ||
== | == How to localize the support site (support.mozilla.org) == | ||
Localizing the support site is explained on the following page: | |||
[https://support.mozilla.org/kb/localize- | [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/localize-mozilla-support Localize Mozilla Support] | ||
== | == How to localize the Mozilla Developer Center (developer.mozilla.org) == | ||
The way to update a localization or start a new localization is detailed in: | |||
[https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Project:Localization_Projects | [https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Project:Localization_Projects Localization projects on MDN] | ||
== | == Other projects to localize == | ||
For some services such as Persona and Input or websites such as Affiliates and Mozillian, there's a dashboard: | |||
[https://localize.mozilla.org/ Mozilla Verbatim] | [https://localize.mozilla.org/ Mozilla Verbatim] | ||
= | = What are the communication channels for web localizers = | ||
You can meet other localizers in the IRC channels #l10n (products and web localizers) and #europe (only for the Mozilla Europe portal) on the irc.mozilla.org server. | |||
There is a newsgroup dedicated to web localization where announcements are made and people can discuss localization issues. This newsgroup can be used via a nntp client like Thunderbird,a mailing list subscription or a web interface via Google Groups: | |||
* news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.dev.l10n.web ( | * news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.dev.l10n.web (newsgroup) | ||
* https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-l10n-web ( | * https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-l10n-web (mailing-list ) | ||
* http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.l10n.web/topics (interface | * http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.l10n.web/topics (web interface) | ||
You can follow bugs that require web localization work on Bugzilla by monitoring bugs where the web@localization.bugs address is in the CC field. | |||
For all locales that we currently support, there is a central place to follow per locale bugs filed in Bugzilla, the Web Localization Dashboard : | |||
http://l10n.mozilla-community.org/webdashboard/ | http://l10n.mozilla-community.org/webdashboard/ | ||
For example, here is the list of open web localization bugs for Korean: | |||
http://l10n.mozilla-community.org/webdashboard/?locale=ko | http://l10n.mozilla-community.org/webdashboard/?locale=ko | ||
These pages have RSS feeds you can subscribe to, to be directly informed of major web localization bugs requiring help. | |||
