On behalf of the Mozilla Project, I'd like to apologise for the delay in processing this request. We very much appreciate offers of help in localization.

If anyone reading this is still interested in helping to translate one or more Mozilla products into the language that this bug is about, please add a new comment to this bug to confirm your interest, saying again which products you would like to localize e.g., Firefox, Thunderbird. We will then make the necessary arrangements.

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

No response after a month; closing the bug as INCOMPLETE. If anyone reading
this is interested in localising Mozilla products into this language, we'd love
to hear from you! Please file a new bug about it.

Thanks,

Gerv

I want to participate in translating Firefox into Kazakh. What can I start from?

To start off, it'd be great if you could add yourself to the mozilla wiki, http://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Teams is the list of teams that work on localizations, could you add yourself to http://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Teams:kk?

I read on IRC that you have a langpack for 1.5 available, to convert that to a source you can use a script by Cedric, http://pagesperso-orange.fr/cedric.corazza.net/html/langpack2cvstree.html.

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Compare-locales is a python script that will help you to find out what's left to do, you'll need en-US sources for that, though. http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Creating_en-X-dude has some information on that.

As Firefox 3 is just around the corner, I'd suggest to target that directly, string freeze for that is only weeks away. So you'd just check out the trunk instead of the MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH (which is for Firefox 2).

And reading Gerv's comment 3, mind filing a new bug? Could be just named like this one, just that this one is really timed out by now, and we can track a new request in a new bug.

What about this bug? 
Why Kazakh translation team isn't created?

Hello Baurzhan:

Thank you for commenting on the bug.  I wanted to clarify your comment above.  Have you started to form the Kazakh team?  I had very recently emailed with an interested contributor named, Уважением.  Do you know Уважением?

This registration bug was also filed: 

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455653

Are you working with these individuals?

Hello,
"Уважением" mean "regards" in russian :)

I don't know those peoples, but if localization team is started, I want to help it. For first, I have translated Firefox package in launchpad.net (https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+lang/kk)

My apologies!  How did I make that mistake?  I'll have to study my Russian. :)

Very nice and thank you for the work.  Do you recommend reaching out to the other individuals to share your launchpad work with them?

Hello
I have one question about joining to Firefox translating team. Who can help me to register KZ translating group?
The package Firefox is fully translated to kazakh and xulrunner is about 50 % translated.
Is there a tool to convert .po file from launchpad to Mozilla's format?

Sorry for my questions, but I'm just translator, not technician

Baurzhan,

I think we have agreed on this. You translate, I pack and settle other technical matters.

[Baurzhan Muftakhidinov]

Hi, Timur!

As you can see, I wrote this message on 06.11.2008. ;) Many days ago.... 


But there is one bad thing, that KZ l18n team isn't officially created (registered).

Like with other Open Source projects, too, Mozilla picks localization teams once there is contributed source. Until then, you guys already did the necessary work to make yourself known to the community by filling in your data on https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Teams:kk.
