463619 - [ms] The "Getting Started" page for Malay

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Mozilla Localizations :: Other, defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

A new Firefox profile includes a link to the "Getting started" page on the Bookmarks toolbar. The objective of this page is to provide the users with a few task-based starting points. They could use them to enjoy the web and discover sites that will help them get the most out of Firefox, and the Internet in general. This page will be aimed towards beginning and intermediate Web users. We want to promote community/user oriented collaborative sites with good user experience in your region and language, and good standards support.

The current en-US defaults for this page are:
 The 'Work' category: Google Docs, Remember the Milk, LinkedIn, Clipmarks Add-on
 The 'Learn' category: Wikipedia, Topix, HowStuffWorks.com, Answers Add-on
 The 'Play' category: YouTube, Hype Machine, Miro, PicLens Add-on
 The 'Connect' category: Criagslist, Yelp, Facebook, Me.dium Add-on 

(See the en-US page at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/central/.)

We would like to provide a good set of links on this page for our Malay users.

First, the localization team and Stas (Stas Malolepszy) will look at the market for your language and come up with a good candidates. Mahrazi, Hasbullah, we'll need your input on this, of course. The guidelines for making recommendations are on https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox_web_services_guidelines.

Second, once we have a good list of candidates, your localization team will localize the 'Getting Started' index.html file which can be found here: http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/en-US/firefox/central/index.html?revision=18714&content-type=text%2Fplain changing the en-US default as agreed in the first step.

The logos should be named sites-<sitename>.png and should be 110px wide and 65px high on white or transparent background. Stas can help on getting the logos from the website owners.

The localized index.html and the logos should be then attached in a ZIP archive to this bug, and a review should be requested from Stas ([e-mail]) and Pascal ([e-mail]). Once the review have been granted, Pascal will take over to push the localized page on the server.

Thank you.

Malay l10n team,

Please accept our apology for not contacting you sooner.  

Has there been any l10n activity in preparation for the release of Firefox 3.1 on your side?  If there has been work that we have not seen, we would very much like to see what has been accomplished.  If there has not been any activity, please also share that information so we can then work on a new plan to generate new activity towards a Malay Firefox 3.1.

Thank you.

Hi Mahrazi and Hasbulla and the Malay l10n team,

We are nearing the approach of our release candidates for Firefox 3.5.  Have you had any chance to progress on the "Getting Started" page that will be included in the Malay version of Firefox?  Please see Axel's remarks in comment 1 for specific items we'd like you to consider and determine.

Please let us know as soon as possible.

Resolving INCOMPLETE, this effort to start a Malay localization didn't take off. If it does, we'll file new bugs.
