Hi,

I'm the Arabic (ar-JO) maintainer of Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey:
http://www.arabeyes.org/project.php?proj=mozilla

I'm attaching my SSH public key, toolkit and browser packs next.

I didn't translate the installer.

I'll fax the form very soon.

Thank you.

review:
1) do not localize ./browser/firefox-l10n.js - leave @AB_CD@ variable there
2) update your bookmarks.html - we don't use Firefox Crew Picks anymore
3) browser/installer.inc is still in English
4) ./toolkit/installer uses Windows line endings - fix it please
5) and it's in english.
6) toolkit/global/printdialog.properties - extend should be = false. Do not
translate this, and due too bug 271470 set it to false please.

Please, fix it ASAP

Actually, extend should be true, see bug 271470 comment 1

Sorry for taking too long to get back, but I didn't have much free time recently...

Here, I've attached new versions of browser and toolkit archives, with the
requested modifications done.

Anything else needs to be done? I'll do it as soon as possible this time.

Thanks.

[Ayman Hourieh]

Any updates on the status of this? Please let me know if it still needs work.
Also, should I submit a comment for bug 288784 in order to get 1.0.3 builds?
I've read the l10n policy and I think our work applies to it.

Thanks.

Comment 12

[Zibi Braniecki [:zbraniecki][:gandalf]]

Benjamin: do we want to ship 1.0.3 for Arabic, or should we prepare them for trunk?

Comment 13

[Benjamin Smedberg]

I think that 1.1 is far enough away we should go ahead and do a 1.0.3 release
(or 1.0.4). Gandalf, can you take care of reviewing/landing this?

Comment 14

[Ayman Hourieh]

Yeah it would be better if you do a 1.0.x release, as I'm working on 1.1 now.

Comment 15

[Benjamin Smedberg]

Marcia, I'll vouch, so that we can get this landed on trunk.

Comment 16

[Ayman Hourieh]

Hmm, any updates? Sorry for bugging many times, but this has taken too long.

Thanks.

Dave: this one is ready to go. Please activate this account.

Comment 18

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

Done.  Your CVSROOT should be set to:

  [e-mail]:/l10n

Don't forget to set the CVS_RSH environment variable to 'ssh'.

If you have any trouble accessing, let me know.

Comment 19

[Axel Hecht]

Ayman, can you land your locale? We could then check your locale again,
provide test builds and get going.

If you need help with CVS, catch some buddy on IRC, #l10n.

Comment 20

[Ayman Hourieh]

Well the thing is, I'm behind an HTTP proxy server, and I can't get an Internet
connection other than what I have here. I used to have an HTTP tunnel on a
remote machine, through which I could access Mozilla's CVS and download sources,
like 2 weeks ago I lost access to that remote machine, so now I can't access
CVS, I'm trying to solve the problem.

Until then, is it possible that someone else commits the files? I can provide
diff's if changes are needed, until I get an HTTP tunnel to be able to use CVS
myself.

Comment 21

[Pavel Franc - Mozilla.cz]

Files landed. And I filled bug 296071 for the review.

Comment 22

[Ayman Hourieh]

Pavel, Thank you so much :)

Comment 23

[Ayman Hourieh]

Hello,

I'll attach an initial tree for Firefox 1.1.x translation, I took a snapshot of
the files at the end of April and translated them, I'll look for new/changed
files now, but first I want to make sure the initial tree is in CVS.

Could somebody please import the attached tree under "ar"? Not "ar-JO", just "ar".

Thank you very much.

[Benjamin Smedberg]

Oof: Ayman, I don't think anyone has the time to update the CVS tree from large
bugzilla attachments like this. Can you think of a better way to get your HTTP
proxy back or some other system to get these files committed (patches are almost
always easier to use than large ZIPs in any case).

Comment 26

[Ayman Hourieh]

Is it possible to create patches if no original files exist? Either way, you're
right, no point in asking someone else to upload the files and I have CVS
access, sorry, will try to get through the proxy...
