295917 - Privacy Policy of Reporter Tool must be localizable

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Other Applications Graveyard :: Reporter, defect)

Description

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

Currently user opens Reporter Tool which is in some language, fills it (probably
in that language or english) and sends data. That's nice.
But there is also "Privacy Policy" link which opens english site (URL). 

We should avoid such situations so we can:
1) Move policy to locale chrome
2) I18N that website.

From what I know later solution is impossible ATM, but we could use Mozilla
Europe's site (Mozilla World site etc.).

It would be possible to do 2 either of these ways:

a. fill in the locale in a URL template, and host all locales on mozilla.org
b. have the privacy policy URL in a DTD or properties file

Moving it to local chrome (i.e. chrome://reporter/locale/privacy.html or
whatever) is probably the best way.

Robert: if this is your favourite solution, I can patch it.

I don't think a patch is needed.

Per discussion with mconnor several weeks ago, we decided to sniff for the
Accept-Language Header.

If there isn't a match, we serve the english version.

Will we localize the privacy policy?  I really don't know the legal issues
behind that.  I guess that's for rebron and mitchell (whomever is taking care of
the privacy policy).

So no, we aren't localizing the client side for the privacy policy.  If
anything, it's server side.

This allows us to make changes, add/remove locales after we ship.  When we have
a privacy policy (Bug 281717), if any localization is being done, it should be
attached to that bug, and I'll add it to the server.

So I'm closing this as WONTFIX, keep an eye on bug 281717 for privacy policy
related stuff.
