285359 - lack of i18n-ability for about:mozilla

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 446173

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[André Szabolcs Szelp]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; hu-HU; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; hu-HU; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1

navigate to about:mozilla.
If you are using a localised version, a localised "Book of Mozilla" Quote might
appear.
The Title of the page won't be localised though.

If you look at the source, you can see, that the two /paragraphs/ are defined by
custom-DTD-entities to denote the localised info.

between the <title></title> tags, nevertheless, the static string "Book of
Mozilla, 7:15" appears.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. navigate browser to about:mozilla
2. view source, e.g.

Actual Results:  
Titlebar can't be localised

Expected Results:  
Make titlebar localisable by replacing "Book of Mozilla, 7:15" by
"&mozilla.from;", as it's already done in the body.

I have just suggested the solution :-) it sounds really simple to me.
I'd probably include the one-line patch myself, if I knew /anything/ about how
chrome:// works :-)

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Reacting to the automated message I reconfirm this
esthetic disturbance.

I have degraded it to "enhancement" though, as it is
not a "bug".

The solution (see above), in theory is easy, please
someone change that Chrome source.

I would've given this "trivial" severity since it is a localisation issue.

Thanks for the patch, sorry we never landed it :)

Turns out we fixed this again in bug 446173
