What do we want to add? (Or who else to ask?)

Comment 2

[Kohei]

I think many stuff are missing, like feed reader or enterprise features. I have a very rough draft here but still checking.

an early thought so i don't forget to mention it - if Migration Wizard is Migration Assistant, that users interract with, we no longer have that for current versions

For the next couple of weeks, I really need to focus on code issues prior to TB 38 uplifting to aurora. So I don't think that I can addresses issues of the web pages. That being said, it would be great if the work moved forward to get key web pages onto bedrock. Perhaps a little later I can give more input.

Sorry about the delay. Terminology question: it would be a great help if someone can please explain to me what "Bedrock" is, exactly. I'm assuming it's this page – https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/features/ – which you are looking to get updated, correct?

Bedrock is the codename of the new Python-based site platform for www.mozilla.org that can be found at:

https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock

The most of the current Thunderbird pages are still on the legacy PHP-based platform that is going away, so we have to port all the content to Bedrock sometime soon.

http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.org/trunk/thunderbird/

As I'm free next week, I'll work on the migration as much as possible.

Looking at the draft page in its current state I can't think of anything missing in terms of feature headings – looks to me like all the bases are covered.

Because we don't have enough time before SVN shuts down, I keep the current copy as is. Let's revisit the content later.

Incorporated several en-US only sections and modifications that are not in the en-GB and localized pages.

[Kohei]

The localized strings are now in lang files, at r145350. :flod, can you start tracking? Thanks!

I don't plan to drive Thunderbird's localization on mozilla.org, I'll leave that to Théo and Pascal (if they still want).

But please, as a first step let's stop committing files on SVN without discussing it beforehand, it makes managing mozilla.org really complicated on my side.

At this point I reverted the changeset in r145351, we can revert it back when we've cleared the process.

Take a quick look at the English file
https://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/locales/en-US/thunderbird/features.lang?view=markup&pathrev=145350

How can a string have a "translation" completely different than the reference string for English? Which one is correct?

Please coordinate with Théo (or Pascal starting next week) on the most appropriate process to land these files in trunk/locales

Forgot to remove the en-US file (r145354), otherwise it will be picked up by Pootle.

Théo or Pascal, can you please handle the l10n here? The Bedrock migration happens soon, and I don't want to lose the current 40 locales.

Looks great! Thanks for doing this.

Hey Kohei,

I was OOO yesterday for medical reasons, taking a look today.

Comment 19

[Théo Chevalier]

Quick update:

I see different issues with what landed in r145351.
- Some strings contained <span> tags in the old template, forcing a new line. A space was not required at that time.
 <span> has been removed, but now there's a missing space in some titles. When we remove the span, we should make sure we add a space when it's missing.

Example in French:
"Personnalisation<span>de votre messagerie</span>" ok because new line > "Personnalisationde votre messagerie" not ok.

- Quotes have been changed to curly quotes for all locales. While this is ok for en-US and other locales, it's up to localizers to decide. Let's make the change in en-US only.

Importing translations from "top-features" div instead of links in "main-features" seems safe. Translations should be the same, and there is no <span> tag. Will try that.
