On September, 2006, Ricardo Palomares Martínez (es-ES localization) asked RAE (Real
Academia Española) permission to include the official spanish dictionary in Firefox search engines.
They responded that every spanish localization should have the dictionary included.
¿Should I file a bug? ¿Do you need to resend the RAE email to anyone of you to include this search engine?
The es-ES search plugin is commited at http://lxr.mozilla.org/l10n-mozilla1.8/source/es-ES/browser/searchplugins/drae.xml

This is the original permission from Real Academia Española.

Estimado Sr. Palomares:

Tengo el gusto de comunicarle que la Junta de Gobierno de la Real
Academia Española ha considerado oportuno conceder  autorización para
que la versión 2.0. de la versión es-ES de Mozilla Firefox contenga,
en su buscador de términos, el enlace directo con la página
electrónica del DRAE.

Me permito indicarle, al tiempo, que el DRAE es una obra colectiva de
todas las Academias de la lengua española, por lo que su carácter
normativo se extiende a todos los países de habla española. Por tanto,
lo lógico sería que ese mismo enlace existiera en todas las versiones
en español.

Con un cordial saludo,

Guillermo Rojo,
Secretario de la Real Academia Española

Was there any consultation with RAE about which parameters and which search page should be used? These seem to work fine, but there seem to be other interfaces available depending on which URL/parameters you send. Just wondering if others had been considered.

Looks good otherwise.

This search plugin is the same that es_ES is using. It seems to be the right one.

For reference, the es-ES plugins uses tabs, the es-AR one spaces for indention, so a plain comparison fails. But a diff -uw shows no differences.

Mic, it seems that answers.com got removed, too, is that OK with you?

We still need a patch for es.wikipedia.org, AFAICT. Please follow http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/browser/locales/en-US/searchplugins/wikipedia.xml and make sure that the ShortName is "Wikipedia (es)" to match the site.

Thanks Axel
Marcelo - you removed Answers - was this intentional, if so why? I realize Answers isn't relevant everywhere in the world. Please advise. thanks.

It was removed, as said on Comment #6.
Answers.com is almost inexistent in Argentina. es-ES doesn't include Answers in search plugins list.

Comment 13

[Mic Berman]

Attachment: Adding Wikipedia-es search plugin

Adding Wikipedia-es to the es-AR search plugins.
The search plugin is the same file that es-ES is using as there are only one spanish translation at wikipedia.org.

Adding Wikipedia-es search plugin

r=me. The plugin itself is already landed, the change to list.txt is reviewed now, too. That landed, AFAICT, too, but got backed out as well.

Please land with a check-in comment indicating my review and referencing this bug.

Comment 16

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

PS: Please put me in as requestee, otherwise patches will not make it into my radar, in particular on bugs which I'm not CCed on.

Comment 17

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

The Spanish wikipedia plugin still needs to land, and we don't have a mailto: handler at all. I suggest using yahoo mail en-US default for that, too.

Comment 18

[Marcelo Poli]

Wikipedia landed.
mailto: handler is using en-US default.

Comment 19

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Marcelo, please bump the

gecko.handlerService.defaultHandlersVersion=1

Otherwise the changes won't be picked up in existing profiles.
