bug 299423 - [th] Thai: Firefox -- Registration

bug 429104 - addons.mozilla.org localization

Comment 6

[Arthit Suriyawongkul]

bug 429307 - "remain" string should use %S for easy L10n

----

also FYI,

Thai UI is now nearly 100% translated.
Though, it's still very edgy, and for sure need more revises / fixes on access keys and others.

You can get the translation source files from SVN:

Any update on the remaining strings?  We need 100% to push this as the next locale.

Artit, we do not put specific locales into 'Component'.  What is it that you are trying to file?

not exactly sure. in bugzilla, when you choose Product as "Mozilla Localizations"
options in Component will read "af / Afrikaans, ar-JO / Arabic, ..."

looks like those values are locale names.

Ah, I see what you mean. My apologies, I was incorrect.  Yes, we need to file a bug to have that added to the Localizations Component.  (I was thinking you wanted to file in the Firefox Component.) I will file the bug and cc you and Isriya.
