477992 - [mn] The "Getting Started" page for Mongolian

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: mn / Mongolian, defect)

Description

[Staś Małolepszy :stas]

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 Mongolian users.

First, the localization team and Stas (Stas Malolepszy) will look at the market for your language and come up with a good candidates. Nagi, 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.

Hi Nagi,  with respect the customizing the Getting Started page, have you had a chance to think of some changes to the four sections of this page so that it is a good fit for Mongolian users of the Web.  As mentioned in comment #1, we seek recommendations in four areas:

1)  The 'Work' category: in en-US, we use Google Docs, Remember the Milk, LinkedIn, and the Clipmarks Add-on;
2)  The 'Learn' category: in en-US, we use Wikipedia, Topix, HowStuffWorks.com, and the Answers Add-on;
3)  The 'Play' category: in en-US, we use YouTube, Hype Machine, Miro, and the PicLens Add-on;
4)  The 'Connect' category: in en-US, we use Craigslist, Yelp, Facebook, the Shareaholic Add-on.

Please feel free to send us your recommendations in time for the release of Firefox 3.5.

Hi sethb,

I am afraid I can't do much of recommendations. If I can leave it as default, I can translate it now.

Nagi, you already translated this last year:
http://mn.www.mozilla.com/mn/firefox/central/

Unlike other locales, we shipped 3.0 without productization on this page for Mongolian, just pure translation. 

Stas, Seth, can we do it again for 3.5 ?

Oh, I didn't know it :). 
Pascal, could you change it with latest one? I think, the latest translation is made better than old.

Thanks, Nagi.  We'll make the change.  The translation looks great.

Yeah, this looks fine to me for now. I'd like to revisit this page in the future, but for now let's just leave it as it is. 

Adding whiteboard status to be able to return to this easily in the future. We'll probably file a new bug then, so closing this one, as it isn't blocking anymore.

Thanks.

FYI: I changed the link to Wikipedia to point to mn.wikipedia.org in r27854.
