454175 - [cy] Firefox 3 protocol handler setup for Welsh

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: cy / Welsh, defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Protocol handlers are a new feature in Firefox 3 that allows links like mailto:[e-mail] to be handled by a webmail application.

In order to do that, the site needs to support a special API described on http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web-based_protocol_handlers.

For en-US, we're currently shipping with GMail and Yahoo! Mail for mailto: and 30boxes for webcal: urls, and we're on a ongoing evangelism effort to add more. ms live mail are coming up shortly. For Welsh, we'd like to do that, too.

First, the localization team and Stas (Stas Malolepszy) will look at the market for the language and come up with a good candidates. Dewy, we'll need your input on this, the guidelines for making recommendations are on http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox_web_services_guidelines. Following that is a reach out by the evangelism team to try to get the vendor to support protocol handlers.

Once that happens, Axel will take over in reviewing the actual implementation, which will need to change the gecko.handlerService.* entries in cy/browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties. Please don't make changes to that file without getting a positive review by Axel or somebody else appointed by Stas/Sethb on a patch for that change upfront.

David, do you have any suggestions?

Comment 2

[David Chan]

Unfortunately, I know of no free webmail providers that offer a Welsh-language interface.  Therefore, unless the others have better information, I would propose that we fall back on the English defaults.

OK, let's go with the defaults for now.

Marking fixed based on what I see in http://bonsai-l10n.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=l10n/cy/browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties&rev=&cvsroot=/l10n

Thanks.
