(support.mozilla.org :: Knowledge Base Articles, task)

Description

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

The fa locale leader has asked that the XHTML files from CVS be re-imported.

Comment 1

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

Adding dependency. Clicking the import button results in the same error. Retrying does not help.

Attachment: force master db use

Will this work, assuming blocking bug 439029 is fixed?

Comment 3

[Nelson Ko [:nkoth]]

attachment 327533 [details] [diff] [review] in r16607 (trunk) and r16608 (production) - this code runs only when import is requested anyway.

Ehsan, I've just tested this, and it works. Do you still want me to wait for bug 442497 ?

Hmm, thanks for doing the import, but I meant we should wait for bug 442497 to be resolved before the import...

Comment 8

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

oops. I forgot the question I asked. :-)

Nelson, does the import script import from LXR? I ask because LXR is going away soon: <http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/msg/7e8ebeb781146a6a>.

Ehsan, any update here? Axel wants to remove the in-product files from CVS.

Note, the cvs removal is only in effect for 3.0.x locales, which Persian isn't yet.

There are a few files not yet translated, which I expect to be finished in the next week.  But like Axel mentioned, this removal should not affect fa, and we can safely try importing the in-product pages from fa CVS trunk to SUMO.

I'll post a note here when it's safe to do so.

Comment 13

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

With the release of Firefox 3.5, and the amount of work done an all in-product articles, my personal recommendation is not to import the fa CVS files. It will be much more work (and confusing) to fix the articles after import, than it would be to create the translations from scratch using the "Translate this page" link on en-US articles. And you will help the most users by translating the top articles in the L10n Dashboard [1] first, because most articles from the Firefox 2 in-product help do not really get that much traffic. (Only the ones that are directly linked to from Firefox get a lot of traffic)

I think with the description that Chris provided in comment 13, this is now WONTFIX.

Thanks Ehsan.
