459890 - [lv] Firefox 3 RSS reader setup for Latvian

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: lv / Latvian, defect)

Description

[Staś Małolepszy :stas]

RSS readers are web services allowing users to subscribe to RSS feeds online and view them. If Firefox detects a feed, it offers the user to subscribe to it, either as a live bookmark or via one of the web services.

The current RSS Readers in en-US are Bloglines, My Yahoo, Google.

We want to ship a good set of defaults for Latvian, and will work towards that in three stages.

First, the localization team and Stas (Stas Malolepszy) will look at the market for the language and come up with a good candidates. Raivis, we'll need your input on this, the guidelines for making recommendations are on http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox_web_services_guidelines. After we decided on a particular RSS reader, Stas will contact the owner and ask for permission. undefined, we'll likely need your help to at least get the contact information.

Once we have a specification on what the set of RSS readers for Latvian should look like, the localization team and Axel will work on an implementation on that. This should happen by the localization team creating and attaching patches for the desired changes, and requesting review from Axel. After a successful review, the localization team will land them. If you're not feeling comfortable with creating those changes, ask Axel to help out.

Please don't commit any modifications in l10n/lv/browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties to the cvs repository without a patch reviewed by Axel, Stas or someone else appointed by Stas/SethB. The data here is sensitive to users and our search partners, thus the extra care here.

There are no Latvian RSS readers, at least none that I know of or that I could find with a quick Google search.

All the people I know of use some sort of Global on-line RSS reader, like Google Reader.

Thanks Raivis. Have you considered Netvibes? <http://www.netvibes.com/>
It's localized into Latvian in 53% and as such it might be a better choice for Latvian users then Bloglines for example (unless you think otherwise).

Comment 3

[Raivis Dejus]

ok, let's use netwibes. or use it also as an option.

I think that Google Reader will also be translated some time sooner or later.

Comment 4

[Staś Małolepszy :stas]

So how about this list:

* Netvibes
* My Yahoo
* Google

?

Comment 5

[Raivis Dejus]

Yes it is ok.

Do I have to do anything now? If so let me now what to do..

Comment 6

[Staś Małolepszy :stas]

You'll need to prepare a patch for CVS (and HG if you first close bug 449844). The change should look like this (Estonian example):

http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/et/diff/7ecbafbbfbf4/browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties

Please don't land the change without attaching a patch to this bug and without a review. Thank you.

r=me. Axel, we don't need an approval1.9.0.4 here, do we? (lv hasn't been release yet in 3.0.x).

Raivis, please wait for Axel's comment before landing this patch. Thanks.

Comment 9

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Yes, as long as we're not in beta or beyond for 3.0.x, cvs trunk is open for check-ins. Only reviews required for search and region.properties.

Comment 10

[Staś Małolepszy :stas]

Thanks Axel. 

Raivis, please land this change on CVS trunk, referencing this bug and my review. Please use the fixed1.9.0.4 keyword once the patch lands and then verified1.9.0.4 after verifying in a nightly build. Thanks.

Comment 11

[Raivis Dejus]

Landed in CVS.

But I did not get the part about "verified1.9.0.4". How do I add that verified1.9.0.4 keyword after verifying? Do i have to land the file again to do that?

Comment 12

[Staś Małolepszy :stas]

Thanks Raivis.

To answer your question: what I meant was setting the "Keywords" field in this bug (top of the page) to "fixed1.9.0.4" now, and then adding "verified1.9.0.4" to it, once you verify the change in a nightly build. Let me know if you need any help with this.

Comment 13

[Raivis Dejus]

As everything is fine in the nightly builds I am clocing this bug.

Comment 14

[Staś Małolepszy :stas]

Great, thank you Raivis.
