35397 - [L12y] Making Taskbar localizable

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization: Localization, defect, P3)

Description

[tao]

In the current implementation, taskbar UI is constructed from 
static XUL description. However, in a localized client, some 
menu items or even menu groups in domestic build might not 
needed in a localized build.

To solve this problem, I propose to use XUL template which will 
give us the flexibility of customizing the UI content per country
basis. I have a prototype at hand but need it reviewed by module 
owner of Taskbar.

Feel free to ask for the patch or reassign to me if there is no
objection.

Also CC general UI owner Ben Goodger.
