Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: Other, defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

I guess we'll have just one bug for the South African locales, at least for starters.

Dwayne, could you file a bug to get a component for your locale/locales?

Comment 1

[Dwayne Bailey]

Requested component in bug 350551

Yes please only one bug for now it will save lots of noise.

Comment 2

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

We need to setup the CNAMES for the south african locales, still.

Comment 3

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Dwayne, to get the SA released, we should good in terms of search for now, but I'd like the bookmarks.html files to follow the scheme to have all links replace en-US with the locale name. Even if we don't use, it can't hurt to add that now.

Comment 4

[Dwayne Bailey]

Axel, all bookmark files updated to replace en-US with correct locale information.  I am not sure what needs to be changed in the search.  I'd like to do that but am unsure and couldn't find docs on what can be changed.

Comment 5

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Re bookmarks, can you change both 'en-US'?

http://tn.add-ons.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/bookmarks/
                              ^^^^^
and friends for all your locales. Yeah, tedious, sorry.

Re search, you wouldn't have to do anything actually. If you're using the en-US list.txt, you're fine from a product/BD point of view. It'd be too late to get some south african engines in, really.
As the build process picks up search engine files of the right name from en-US, you can cvs remove all your copies of the en-US search engine xml files, and just keep a copy of list.txt in each of your locales.

Fixed my scripts to do s/en-US/$locale/g - so now changes everything.  These changes have been committed to CVS.

Is it safe to change these?

Dwayne, the tree is closed. Any change that you want to land needs a bug, request blocking-firefox2, and a patch for which to request approval1.8.1.

This is not an issue for this release.  We will address that in a future release.

Removed all *.xml from ZA locales.

[Dwayne Bailey]

Axel, sorry didn't check the tree status before those commits.  I can revert and go the approval route if needed.  Do we have any concept of string freeze in Mozilla? As I've been watching quite a few string addtions and changes.

Comment 10

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Please don't revert, that's just another check-in.

In terms of string freeze, we're frozen, but help is 'insert colorful non-public language'.

File bugs, request blocking, that's the only way I have for you.

Comment 11

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Moving over to 2.0.0.1.

Comment 12

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Any news on the ZA locales for release on 2.0.0.x?

Comment 13

[Dwayne Bailey]

We ahve translations in for Afrikaans which we're busy creating a diff for against current Afrikaans in CVS.  Will complete that review tomorrow and be able to submit a patch.

Updates to 2.0.0.1 for Afrikaans

[af] translation update for the 1.8 branch approved.

This patch is pretty huge, and deals with a whole bunch of untranslated strings. I guess we should make an assessment of the build after this patch landed and the resulting builds got some QA.

Updates to 2.0.0.1 for South African English (en-ZA)

[en-ZA] catch-up patch approved for 1.8 branch. Looking at my diff against en-GB, there seem to be US-isms left, I found at least manBookmarksCmd.label in browser.dtd. One has to ignore the casing of the accesskeys when looking at the diff, sadly, as well as some formatting diffs. I need to file a bug on en-GB about summaries vs. live titles, though.

Comment 19

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Let's move this meta bug off the shipping list, Friedel, Dwayne, please file individual bugs for locales as appropriate.

Comment 20

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Marking FIXED.
