352128 - sq - Albanian Search feature tracking for Firefox 2

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: sq / Albanian, defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Albanian used the en-US search plugins in 1.5, and does so in 2.0, which is fine.

dictionary needs to be removed, though, as we're not shipping that anymore.

Mic, Besnik doesn't have splendid ideas for local search engines for Albanian, I'm not dead-on surprised. Any ideas on your side or should we just leave things en-US?

We could do sq.wikipedia.org, it's in the 10.000+ category.

Same goes probably for feed readers.

Besnik, any idea for a good newsfeed in Albanian, or for Albania?

I would be tempted to finally make people from BBC happy, including their feed or another blog but have doubts of using them...That could be interpreted as taking one´s part.Any hint? 

Comment 4

[Besnik Bleta]

BBC´s feed in Albanian, http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/albanian/index.xml, would be a good choice. 

Comment 5

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Besnik, any opinion on sq.wikipedia.org?

Comment 6

[Besnik Bleta]

sq.wikipedia.org is in a prety good shape, in terms of localization. Including it wouldn't harm anything.

Comment 7

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Mind attaching a patch and requesting review from me for that then?

http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox3/L10n_Requirements#Wikipedia has the specs, http://mxr.mozilla.org/l10n/source/lv/browser/searchplugins/wikipedia-en.xml is an example.

wikipedia-sq.xml would be a good name, the patch should include both the added file and the change to list.txt.

Attachment: Patching list.txt to reflect adding of wikipedia-sq

Axel,

could you please check both the file and the patch?

Comment 10

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

That looks ok, you'd create the real patch with

cvs add wikipedia-sq.xml
cvs -z3 diff -uN

The cvs add just add the file locally, and doesn't touch the server just yet, so that's fine to do upfront.

Can you create that, and then set the 'r' flag on that attachment to '?' and the requestee to [e-mail]?

Attachment: patch for wikipedia-sq.xml and list.txt

Pike, I followed your last instructions. I don't know if cvs -z3 diff -uN was supposed to act remotely or I needed that to locally creat a patch. Si I did/faked both. Here you are the patch created locally.

Would you approve a patch for the shortkeys and accesskeys? I need to know before I spend two days fighting with them. Or the above patch is enough to get sq from incubatory, so I can continue with FF3?

patch for wikipedia-sq.xml and list.txt

r=me. Please check this in with a comment referencing this bug and my review. Something like "bug 352128, add Wikipedia (SQ), r=[e-mail]" would be a standard way to do this.

Regarding your accesskey question, patches like that don't need approval as long as you're checking in on trunk (might change in preperation for fx3). If you'd want to branch and then land that patch, you'd have to request approval for that.

Looking at it, and at this bug, we totally forgot about RSS feed readers.

http://bonsai-l10n.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=/l10n/sq/browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties&rev=1.3 

doesn't specify any, which is not good, reopening.

Sorry for that, we're much better at filing these bugs today.

I doubt there is a whole lot of localized feed readers for Albanian? Netvibes seems to be available, so maybe add that?

Basically, you want to add the block of http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=/mozilla/browser/locales/en-US/chrome/browser-region/region.properties&rev=1.9.2.15&mark=9-14
I'd suggest replacing bloglines with netvibes.

Catalan just added netvibes as first, see http://bonsai-l10n.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=/l10n/ca/browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties.

Mic?

(Unhooking the dependency on that old fx2 search tracker for sanity)

Besnik just reverted the entries to en-US for now. Closing this bug again.
