1262869 - [trs] Search engine setup for Firefox Mobile for Triqui.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: trs / Triqui, defect)

Description

[Jeff Beatty [:gueroJeff]]

We want to ship Firefox Mobile with a good list of search engines for Triqui. 

We're going to work towards this in three phases. First, the localization team and the l10n drivers will look at the market for the language and come up with a good set of search providers. Misael Hernandez, we'll need your input on this, the guidelines for making recommendations are on <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Productization_guide>. 

For en-US, we currently use this set, to which we can fall back in the case of lacking localized alternatives:

> Google (mobile version), Yahoo, Bing, Amazon, Twitter, Wikipedia (slightly different to desktop, 32x32 icon)

We may also want to go with just a subset of the en-US engines, if that's more appropriate for the local market.

Once we decide to use a particular search engine (and we test it on a mobile device), l10n drivers will contact the owner and ask for permission, and for specifics like proper search flags. Misael Hernandez, we'll likely need your help to at least get the contact information.

For search engines that we already ship with on desktop and that you would like to include in mobile as well, the permission is not needed.  Consider using a mobile version of the engine if one is available.  Also, please make yourself familiar with instructions regarding the <Description/> element at <https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Integrated_Search_Instructions>. For mobile, we'll want 64x64 size images, too.

Once we have a specification on what the search engines for Triqui should look like, flod (Francesco Lodolo) and the localization team will work on an implementation on that. flod will create and attach patches for the desired changes and get them reviewed. After a successful review, flod will land them. Misael Hernandez, if you're interested, you could create the patches, too. You'd ask flod for review on those before landing. 

Please don't commit any modifications in browser/searchplugins to the hg repository without a patch reviewed by flod, Stas, Axel or someone else appointed by the l10n drivers. The data here is sensitive to users and our search partners, thus the extra care here.

The Triqui team and flod will be driving this bug to completion.

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Does it make more sense to have es.wikipedia.org instead of the English version? Same question for Yahoo.

Comment 4

[Delphine Lebédel [:delphine - Use needinfo]]

Aha - you're probably right. Misael: can you please let me know what you think of comment 3 please? thanks!

After some back and forths with Misael, I'll go ahead and update the patch to use the Spanish versions for English and Yahoo. I'll do this today so that it has a chance to land before merge day (Monday).

It's good to go with 30 Boxes removed. Note that merge day is not relevant for trs, since locale stays on aurora next cycle.
