367060 - update Albanian locale to Firefox 2

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Mozilla Localizations :: sq / Albanian, defect)

Description

[Besnik Bleta]

Attachment: diff from cvs diff -uN

Changes for bringing sq up to date. 
I´m attaching a cvs diff against 1.8 branch, which still carries my contribute from 1.5 days. So there are even completely new folders which need to be commited and it´s not clear to me what I have to do in such a case.

We should look at branch-landing part of this as soon as 2.0.0.3 opens.

Did you try landing your work on the trunk yet? That might be a good idea, and we can test you stuff in cvs before commiting it to the frozen branch.

Comment 2

[Besnik Bleta]

I landed it wrongly on trunk, instead of on 1.8 branch, just a day before the tree closed. I was promised a cvs merging, as a solution to that, after the FF2 release though for obvious reasons. It did not happen till today. I asked to do that manually, assuming that trunk will serve for the next release of Firefox, while 1.8 string were the ones serving FF2. This is how I understood the process. Let me know what exactly needs to be done.

diff from cvs diff -uN 

[sq] As we're still taking changes on the l10n rep for .2, let's get this patch landed, too.

This is a huge patch and should get hopefully most of the things done for Albanian, and get us into shape for tb, too.

Axel:  Can you confirm that this patch landed and add the "fixed1.8.1.2" keyword so we know that this got into the 1.8 branch.  Please also remove the blocking1.8.1.3 request if there is nothing more to do in this bug.  It'll be nice to get this off the radar. If this is a tracking bug for more work to be done for Albanian, let us know.  Thanks!

This patch landed, leaving open to get the remaining missing pieces into the tree.

And this doesn't block .3, no matter which.

Comment 6

[Besnik Bleta]

Pike,

Does it make any sense to keep hoping for a sq release for FF2? Or I should better focus on FF 3 work? 

Comment 7

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

There is still quite a bit of work to do for Albanian, but FF 3 is still quite a bit out there, and I guess that working towards FF2 will get you a lot closer to 3, too.

How about trying to go the incubator way, and work on the trunk towards fx2, and see how far you get when? http://people.mozilla.com/~axel/l10n/incubatorlog.txt looks much better than the reports on the branch itself, so I guess there is stuff that can be landed again.

Comment 8

[Besnik Bleta]

Axel,

Can you check sq now against your incubator.txt and tell me what´s next?
I've done the corrections sugested from your incubator.

Comment 9

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

I reran the test and updated the log, seems like you need to incorporate bug 372940 still, though that patch looks like it is actually reversed.

Comment 10

[Besnik Bleta]

Fixed the brand.properties as told on bug 372940.
Aren´t we closer now?

Comment 11

Attachment: Albanian language pack, current state of trunk

Here's a language pack for firefox 2 that you can test.

Given that we had to fix extra-jar.mn (help stuff) to get this to actually build, be sure to take a close look at the help content as it is live, too.

Apart from doing the other usual browser testing, of course.

Comment 12

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Attachment: updated langpack, errornous whitespace removed locally

There is trailing whitespace in browser/defines.inc, which is leading to leading whitespace in install.rdf and thus a broken langpack.

I fixed this locally, please test again? If it works, we'll need a patch to land this fix.

Comment 13

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

What's the status on this bug?

Comment 14

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

I just checked in a new version of bookmarks.html, which has the links and the structure as they should be these days, which actually turned the build on http://l10n.mozilla.org/buildbot/ orange. That means, yay, language packs for testing are at http://l10n.mozilla.org/~buildslave/incubator/.

The titles in bookmarks.html still need to be translated though.

Comment 11 for the scope of that testing still stands. The buildbot waterfall should pick up check-ins with fixes automatically.

Comment 15

[Besnik Bleta]

I'll get back on these asap.

Comment 16

[Besnik Bleta]

The langpack vas working even before, but I need to change the hotkeys: the whole thing is a mess.

Comment 17

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Can this bug be closed?

What testing does the current language pack have? Like, how many people are testing it, on which platforms? It'd be good to at least get a handle on the dialog sizes for all three platforms.

Comment 18

[Besnik Bleta]

Plenty, by myself. No statistics about the rest of the world, sorry. Even Mozilla doesn't provide any, let alone a mere translator like me. 

I haven't had any report from users. It seems that missing releases after releases made them grow cold about what I was trying to do here.

Comment 19

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Besnik is still doing final testing and sees if there are accesskeys to fix. He already had volunteers stepping up for testing the language pack from incubator on Windows and Mac, he's doing linux testing himself. IIRC.

We'll create a patch for branch landing after that.

Per comment and resolution in bug 352129, resolving this WONTFIX, too.
