352486 - Firefox central pages outdated or 404 for many languages

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Websites :: Other, defect)

Description

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

This is a tracking bug for the updating of Firefox central pages hosted under the mozilla-world.org domain.

Mozilla Europe hosts the set of Firefox central pages under the mozilla-world.org domain for most of the languages with a Firefox localization but these pages have remained unmaintained for a very long time, they often describe Firefox 1 features instead of 1.5 and have 404 links. Bad.

We are not going to wait for the new content for Firefox 2 central pages since we would continue to expose 404 pages to the millions of new users installing firefox today.

Attachment: english startpages to be translated

Here is the archive that contains the set of pages to be translated.

If you wish to adapt the content of a specific page (changing RSS link examples for RSS links in your language, changing search plugins examples for others in your language, adding a link to the contributors portal... Ask about it in your bug or email me ([e-mail]).

Of course, these adaptations to your local context can be added at a later time.

I think there is a misspelled word on live-bookmarks\index.html:

"For example *may* news sites provide an RSS feed of their headlines..."

I think it was intended to be many instead of may.

It is indeed a typo, just don't replicate it on your own translation ;)

I will post a fixed archive soon and fix the typo on own public page.

Thanks for spotting it.

I think there is another problem.
on start\get-involved.html there is "For companies and administrations" twice.
one for mozilla-europe and the second for mozilla.com
In my opinion, one headline should be enough and you can mention mozilla.com and mozilla-europe under one headline.

I forgot to precise that you need to edit these pages with a UTF8 text editor and not a Wysiwyg editor because there are comments in the source code indicating what is to translate if you are working on a European language or a non European language.
