800416 - [an] Firefox protocol handler setup for Aragonese

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: an / Aragonese, defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Protocol handlers allow links like mailto:[e-mail] to be handled by a webmail application.

In order to do that, the site needs to support a special API described on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web-based_protocol_handlers.

For en-US, we're currently shipping with GMail and Yahoo! Mail for mailto:, 30boxes for webcal: and Mibbit for irc: urls. For Aragonese, we'd like to do that, too.

First, the localization team and Milos (Milos Dinic) will look at the market for the language and come up with a good candidates. Daniel, we'll need your input on this. The guidelines for making recommendations are on <https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Firefox/Productization>. Following that, the evangelism team reaches out to try to get the vendor to support protocol handlers. http://people.mozilla.org/~ctalbert/ has test cases for mailto:.

Once that happens, Milos will take over the actual implementation, which will need to change the gecko.handlerService.* entries in browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties. Please don't make changes to that file without getting a positive review by Milos or somebody else appointed by Milos/Stas on a patch for that change upfront.

The Aragonese team and Milos will be driving this bug to completion.

The current state in the user repo has the en-US defaults, which is a good starting point.

What is the Catalan and Spanish status about this?
There aren't any mail or webcal services in Aragonese language, I think that the Spanish set is a good approach.

You posted the searchplugins, and this bug is for protocol handlers.

Comment 6

[Milos Dinic [:Milos]]

Daniel,

both Catalan and Spanish(es-ES) are using default(en-US) protocol handlers:

30 boxes for webcal;
Yahoo! Mail and Gmail for mailto;
Mibbit for irc/ircs

In case you found something more appropriate for your locale, then let's make it happen. If not, let's just stay with defaults, ok?

Comment 7

[Daniel Martinez]

Then we can use the defaults too.

[Milos Dinic [:Milos]]

Excellent, closing this one, then.
