Starting Sunbird 0.8 or Lightning 0.8 shows error during the timezone guessing:

Errore: Salto il fuso orario locale 'Pacifico/Honolulu'. TypeError: tz has no properties

The error happens because the string "likelyTimezone" has been translated:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/l10n-mozilla1.8/source/it/calendar/chrome/calendar/calendar.properties#149

but must be in English:

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/calendar/locales/en-US/chrome/calendar/calendar.properties#214
# LOCALIZATION NOTE (likelyTimezone):
#   Translators, please put the most likely timezone(s) where the people using
#   your locale will be.  Use the Olson ZoneInfo timezone name *in English*,

Please note that we already switched the tinderbox to release preparation mode. This means you will have to submit your changes to SUNBIRD_0_8_BRANCH as well to take effect. http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.l10n/msg/1d11a4a12be3062d

Done

Comment 4

Out of curiosity: Wouldn't be Europe/Rome a more likely timezone for Italian users than Europe/Paris?

Comment 5

[Iacopo Benesperi [:iacchi]]

Actually the timezone is the same, so there are no problem. Anyway: I've tried to search on MT for the default timezone string, but I wasn't able to find it. the "likelyTimezone" is just a list, so I don't think I have to set it from there.
