483293 - [kk] The "Getting Started" page for Kazakh

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Mozilla Localizations :: kk / Kazakh, 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, Shareaholic 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 Kazakh users.

First, the localization team and Stas (Stas Malolepszy) will look at the market for your language and come up with a good candidates. Timur, 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=21542&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.

Dauren, Timur, this is a blocker bug for Firefox in Kazakh, are you working on it ?

Comment 4

[Dauren Sarsenov]

We are currently discussing certain sites, but they seem not to be enough. Nevertheless we will continue working on this bug.

Hey guys,

It's been quite a while since the last comment in this bug. However, it looks like we're actually pretty close to marking it as fixed. Would you like to help us with that?

There's only a handful of bugs left that block Kazakh from moving out of beta (the dependencies of bug 483285). Plus, the translation is 100% complete! It would be great if we could move forward on the Kazakh localization. Please let us know how we can help.

Thanks,
-stas

Pascal, Stas, do you have a feeling yet on whether we should pick this bug up for Firefox 4 or if our setup will change dramatically?

Comment 9

I think using our current version of the page could at least be a temporary solution for shipping until we decide what we do localization wise concerning this page for Firefox 4 and later versions.

This web page is no more blocking the release. It would be nice to have this translated, but definitely not a blocker.

[Milos Dinic [:Milos]]

This page is long gone, and we don't serve it any more. There's a new page though, that's rather big - features page. As it can be hard to maintain this page, we don't ask all our localization teams to deal with it, but only those who have the manpower for that.

That said, I'm resolving WORKSFORME this bug, and if you want to translate the Features page, even though you're not required to, please let me know and I'll open a new bug for you.

Thanks!
