I tried to upload the xpi. Because the size is more than 300k, bugzilla not allow me to upload. 
Kavitha, could you look into that?.

This Thunderbird pack is installed in many places our country  and its successfully working. What are the steps we should take to get this on Mozilla server / get CVS access?

ta-LK language pack for Mozilla Thunderbird 2 

The reviews should go on the source files instead of the language pack, cancelling this review.

I ran compare-locales on the source attachment, but that seems to contain only the tb-specific parts, not toolkit, so I can't really r+ that either.

There is something funky in mail/installer/installer.inc, though. Not sure what, just for reference.

I assume that you're pushing Firefox 3 forward first?

Comment 11

[Sarves]

Thanks Alex. We will come up with correct and good pack soon.

Yes Alex, we are planning to push FF3 first and also we would not miss the TB 3.0 too.

Sarves,

As I discussed with you, I prepared the l10n source files for TB3. The "comapre-locale" suggests me that 40% completed.

shall we do string-translation further to reach 80%-90% and check it again after that. Then you may request l10n review from Axel. Thanks.

Comment 13

[Sarves]

Thanks Rohana.
Sure, we will do that. I will let u know and upload it here once its done.

Comment 14

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

Rohana, Sarves,
how far along are you at the moment with the Thunderbird ta-LK localization? Can you please give me an update?

Comment 15

[Sarves]

Rohana,

I mailed the Thunderbird pack to you. Could you compile and find the % of completion quickly? Then we can give an update to Simon.

Comment 16

[Rohana Dasanayaka]

Sarves, Simon,

Now, 66% completed, but there are  many Missing/Obsolete strings (3 months old pack-comment #12) and a few errors. I can help to resolve those. 

Sarves, you may continue with translation

Hope, can reach the target to land on TB3.

Comment 17

[Sarves]

Thx Rohana. Could you upload the newly complied pack so that we can work on it. Yes we will try our best to finish this.

I will upload it as soon as possible, but you may continue with present set of files.

Attached herewith is "ta-LK" L10n files for Thunderbird 3. Locally-run compare-locale gives no error and indicates 79% completion. We kindly request l10n review for this and hope to upload modified files ( >80% completion) soon after "string-freeze". Thanks.

I'll do the l10n review for Thunderbird source files.

Thanks Rohana for compiling and uploading the pack. 
Simon, thanks for ur response too :) Hope that we can opt-in very soon!

tb-ta:
missing: 123
keys: 1822
unchanged: 1542
changed: 5967
missingInFiles: 13
obsolete: 77
78% of entries changed

is my output, missing strings are for non-mail parts. I suspect that you need to do a python client.py checkout to get up-to-date toolkit strings.

I don't know the full review procedures of mail, but at least toolkit/defines.inc needs to be updated, it still claims English (US) ;-). Not sure which plural rule to use, https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Localization_and_Plurals.

What Pike said, although due to a recent checkin your numbers right now are:

tb-ta:
missing: 139
keys: 1822
unchanged: 1540
changed: 5962
missingInFiles: 13
obsolete: 84
77% of entries changed

From my point of view, r=sipaq

Comment 24

[Sarves]

Thanks Axel and Simon. We are continuing our works and we will do more. 

Review + :) how we should proceed from here?

@Pike : We will check about plural forms and do necessary changes. Also very soon we will meet with Firefox :)

Comment 25

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

I'll land your intermediary localization once a hg repository for ta-LK has been created (see bug 474782).

I would appreciate it if you could provide me with an updated localization by the end of the weekend, which I will then land in hg.

Comment 26

[Sarves]

Thanks Simon, we will try our best.

> Thanks Simon, we will try our best.

Sarves,

I managed to get the same result, that Simon got, by using "python client.py checkout" with my "compare-locale". So, we can submit better set of files today itself.

tb-ta/:
missing: 141
keys: 1822
unchanged: 1540
changed: 5960

obsolete: 86

ta-LK l10n sorce files for TB3

Looks good in general, but you still haven't fixed your localization title in toolkit/defines.inc

Here's the output that compare-locales gave me:

ta-tb
  dom/chrome/layout/css.properties
      -UseOfGetPropertyCSSValueWarning
  toolkit
    chrome/global/intl.properties
        +intl.charsetmenu.browser.unicode
    crashreporter/crashes.dtd
        -clearAllReports.label
        +clearReports.label
ta-tb:
keys: 1883
unchanged: 1454
changed: 6137
obsolete: 2
missing: 2
80% of entries changed

Please fix the defines.inc issue and do whatever you can with regards to the not yet translated strings and I'll gladly r+ this.

Simon,

Attached files are ta-LK l10n files for TB3 Beta2. Could you pl. push this time too.

Changeset 343cbe4202b8 was pushed to 

http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n-mozilla-1.9.1/ta-LK/
http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/ta-LK/

Looking at the compare-locales output, you are still missing the following files, which were added recently:

- aboutRights.dtd
- aboutRights.properties
- activity.dtd
- activity.properties

Also many new strings were just added in their English form.

Comment 36

[Sarves]

Again thanks a lot for pushing. Sure we will look into this and modify soon.

Rohana and Sarves,
the l10n dashboard is now green for ta-LK. I would recommend that you grab a current build for each platform that you can test and look at it thoroughly. 

If it's looking fine, then please opt-in for the TB3 b2 release in the corresponding thread in the mozilla.dev.l10n newsgroup

Comment 39

[Rohana Dasanayaka]

Simon,

Thanks for helping us.

ta-Lk windows build is not available in [1]

I suspect, the reason is that Tamil is not supporting Windows Code Page. If so, we need to revert the installer files. Same thing happened to "si" locale.

Probably. 
Why don't you or Sarves try to fix this with your new and shiny hg privileges?

Comment 41

[Rohana Dasanayaka]

Simon,

My account has not yet been created. 

Could you pl. replace installer files with en-US. I promise you for not putting this work to you after this beta2.

Comment 42

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

The problem with the installer is not about the encoding, but about the variable use. Please check the latest en-US version of the installer files and make sure that the name and the format of the variables match in each string.

Comment 43

[Rohana Dasanayaka]

Axel, Simon

We have not translated mail/installer files, they contains en-US strings.

Comment 44

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

Rohana,
look at the differences between what the French guys are doing and you are doing:

http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n-mozilla-1.9.1/fr/annotate/d7d675b257a0/mail/installer/override.properties vs.
http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n-mozilla-1.9.1/ta-LK/annotate/985195186f31/mail/installer/override.properties

You'll need to replace "$(^Name)" with "$BrandFullName"

Comment 45

[Sarves]

Oh ho :-?
Yep, Many thanks Simon. We will do the changes.

Sarves

Comment 46

[Rohana Dasanayaka]

Attachment: file to be placed to fix installer problem

Simon,

Identified the problem, This file should be placed by replacing the existing one in mail/installer dir. As mentioned above "variable name" was the problem. Thanks for helping us.
