455145 - localize fennec

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Attachment: move localizable files into mobile/locales/en-US, minor build foo and l10n.ini

We need a few changes to fennec to make it blend nicely with our l10n infrastructure.

hg makes that a simple patch, nicely, which I attached.

Changes:

- move the localizable files from chrome/locale/en-US to locales/en-US/chrome
- slightly change the structure internally to ab-CD.jar
- move branding into ab-CD.jar
- add an l10n.ini (no filter.py, as I don't think we need one right now)

I didn't add any repackaging logic, right now, you should be able to create localized builds with --enable-ui-locale and do full builds.

The localization files should reside in l10n-central/ab-CD/mobile.

Tested locally on a mac build for just en-US.

Going to wait to land this until some patches that touch locale are landed.

Then I'll unbitrot this patch and land it.

Can we already create a subfolder l10n-central/ab-CD/mobile in which we can put the contents of mozilla-central/mobile/locales/en-US to start localizing?

I am ok with that, but let's get Pike to comment on that.

And it would be nice if the builds would show up on a dashboard somewhere.
Axel?
