349795 - google phishing eula translation should be consistent with product localization

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Mozilla Localizations :: Other, defect)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

Google is providing phishing EULA translation.

This translation should be consistent with the style and vocabulary used in Firefox User Interface, especially concerning the English words Phishing and Cookie. 

For instance:

- French UI does not use "phishing" but "contrefaçon"
- Spanish localization always uses "usted" (formal "You") and not "tu" (informal "you")

The problem is not quality of the translation work (it is good for both FR and es-ES)  but consistency with the rest of the product.

All localization teams should check for their language if the style and vocabulary does not conflict with the rest of Firefox UI.

Agreed.  I asked Axel about this a while back, but rather than waiting on all the locales, we went ahead with a translation.

I'm checking with legal now, but I think editing the EULAs to be consistent should be fine.

Hopefully, this will all be made invalid by bug 350422 (move eula out of source code).

Comment 3

[Pavel Franc - Mozilla.cz]

Despite its source location the EULA should really be consistent with product localization - at least in terms like phishing, cookies, etc.

I second Pavel's statement.

Mass resolving old l10n bugs. These didn't change since 2006, WORKSFORME.
