293093 - [Website] Needs list of supported languages

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: Product Site, defect)

Description

The main page needs to call out the full list of supported languages in the
current release.

I'd rather have some "cool" tooltip or emerging div which contains all the
languages then adding a plain list of some sort.

Comment 2

[Ulrik Sverdrup]

umm.. isn't our "mulilingual version" link on the front page quite useless.
There is no way I now if the language I want is in that package, so I'd have to
go to another page to check first. So it would be more logical to link to an
information page, not a download.

I think we should put in a button that links to a good-looking page for
multilanguage releases.

I'm not sure this should "block" 1.0 per se, but I think it needs to be done for 1.0.

I don't know if we've really come up with a good way to do this visually. I don't really like the tooltip idea, but maybe the "emerging" div or something similar. Maybe we could just call out the l10n project better and have a special download page for them (listing the languages).

Attachment: CSS "popup" example

You could also do something like this, a CSS "popup", which is better than a tooltip and (I think) less work than a slide-in DIV.  

This is just a quick hack of something I did on another site onto the Multilang button.  You can move the "popup" wherever and format it however, more or less (it's not as flexible as a full-fledged DIV).

That'd work great if our list wasn't so long....... (But I'm glad it is long!)

How about we compromise?

I propose we create a new page for the l10n download which has a list of the languages and a link to download. This would get rid of the one-step download for l10n, but would enable us to give more information for them. We'd change the image on the front page to say something like... "Is Camino available in your language?" with text in other languages behind it. Does that make sense? Jasper, what do you think?

Ping.

What's being done about this, Sam?

Nothing! (As of yet.)

Reassigning website bugs to me. Also untargeting. These bugs should be finished in time for Camino 1.5's website, but aren't necessary.

We're going to this on the relnote page, not the home page.

Sam fixed this in the 1.5 site; see http://www.caminobrowser.org/releases/1.5/
