The QA team did our standard L10n smoke test on the Tier 1 locales and noticed that many when we went to the Help menu item, both then main and side panel of the help winder were blank. Axel did an LDX search and found that these 20 locales reference non-existant files. Here is the list from Axel: /bg/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /cs/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /da/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /de/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /en-GB/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /es-ES/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /eu/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /gu-IN/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /he/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /fy-NL/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /hu/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /hy-AM/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /ko/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /mk/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /mn/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /pa-IN/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /ro/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /sq/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /zh-TW/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> /pt-PT/browser/chrome/help/firebirdhelp.rdf, line 20 -- nc:datasources="firebird-glossary.rdf"/> Here is the LXR search string: http://lxr.mozilla.org/l10n-mozilla1.8/search?string=firebird-glossary.rdf This is not considered a blocker for Beta1 as the help text is not updated for the FF2 features, locales are considered Alpha level at this point, and help itself is not broken. There are otherways to get to it (ex: chrome://browser/locale/help/cookies.xhtml) This needs to be Release Noted!
This apprears to be a regression from bug 324968 according to Axel's research.
Keywords: regression
in zh-CN locale files the data source is: nc:datasources="chrome://help/locale/help-toc.rdf firebird-toc.rdf"/> but The help page is EMPTY also.
I think the problem with zh-CN is that there is a section missing in its firebird-toc.rdf. http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/browser/locales/en-US/chrome/help/firebird-toc.rdf#428 through line 445. The brandDTD entity in the DOCTYPE should also link to "chrome://branding/locale/brand.dtd".
Corrected for pt-PT in CVS. In our case, the reference should be to file glossary.rdf instead of firebird-glossary.rdf.
pa-IN is updated as "toc" and "chrome://help/locale/help-toc.rdf firebird-toc.rdf" thanks
(In reply to comment #3) Thanks,zh-CN modified and problem resolved.
zh-TW is resolved in CVS. Thanks.
eu fixed in CVS many thanks!
es-AR working Updating last minute changes.
Affected locales as of today are: da, de, es-ES, fy-NL, gu-IN, he, hy-AM, mk, ro, sq. I think we should try to get this fixed for B2. Yes, en-US help content is not final, but not showing help at all isn't the best sign of QA/testing.
Gujarati (gu-IN) file is updated. Can somebody verify that whether it's correct or not.
(In reply to comment #10) > Affected locales as of today are: > > da, de, es-ES, fy-NL, gu-IN, he, hy-AM, mk, ro, sq. fy-NL committed. Is there a way to test this locally, without waiting for a new build? Where does firebirdhelp.rdf reside in the program? W.

Just look at the patch in bug 324968: firebird-glossary.rdf and firebird-index1.rdf have been merged into and replaced by search-db.rdf, and firebirdhelp.rdf has been updated. You need to do the same in your locale.

Let's see in the next few hours if I've done it right...
Axel, should this be split off into individual bugs against each localization where this matters? If not, can you drive to completion?

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.8.1b2) Gecko/20060821 Firefox/2.0b2 es-ES works for me now. I tested this last night. From QA testing, da and de still broken. These are not planned for beta 2: he, hy-AM, ro, sq So these are still in question or broken for Beta2: da, de, fy-NL, ga-IN, mk
(In reply to comment #19) > So these are still in question or broken for Beta2: da, de, fy-NL, ga-IN, mk fy-NL was already resolved on 2006-08-15. see comment #12.
mk is ok
Since our help files arent translated at all, I simply copy/pasted the en-US into da and committed that. Hopefully that solved it.

mn fixed in CVS Thanks.
The remaining locales which don't have this fixed are he (bug 352116), hy-AM (bug 352118), ro (bug 352125), sq (bug 352129). Each of those has other problems in terms of updating their locale, too, but doesn't block firefox 2. Resolving this bug WORKSFORME, and minus blocking-firefox2, too.
