1431564 - [meh] Search engine setup for Firefox Mobile for Mixteco Yucuhiti.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: meh / Mixteco Yucuhiti, enhancement)

Description

[Delphine Lebédel]

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

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. Netza, we'll need your input on this, the guidelines for making recommendations are on <https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Mobile/Productization>. 

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

> Google, Yahoo, Bing, Amazon, Twitter, Wikipedia

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

Adding brand new search engines, that don't yet ship in any other language, needs approval from Business Development and requires more time to get authorization and assets from the provider. To avoid blocking the initial set up, this type of requests should be split into follow up bugs. Netza, we'll likely need your help to at least get the owner's 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. For Android we'll want a specific 96x96px image, with colored background and rounder corners (6px radius).

Once we have a specification on what the search engines for Mixteco Yucuhiti should look like, Delphine and the localization team will work on the implementation. Delphine will create and attach patches for the desired changes and get them reviewed. After a successful review, Delphine will land them. Netza, if you're interested, you could create the patches, too. You'd ask Delphine for review on those before landing. 

Please don't commit any modifications in browser/searchplugins to the hg repository without a patch reviewed by Delphine, flod, 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 Mixteco Yucuhiti team and Delphine will be driving this bug to completion.

(you can look at what other indigenous/S. American located teams chose here, if that helps at all: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/default/mobile/locales/search/list.json)

Hi Netza! Thanks for following-up.
Here is the documentation in order to create the needed patches: https://github.com/mozilla-l10n/documentation/blob/master/products/searchplugins/setup_searchplugins.md

However, I can understand this is hard to set up if you haven't tried it before. Let me know if you'd like me to do it, I can definitely help out :)
