Certificate for Mozilla Service Week

Description of Project: http://chickswhoclick.wordpress.com/2009/05/01/mozilla-service-week-be-the-difference/ This bug is to gather the localized project name for locales participating in the localization of the Mozilla Service Week web site to be launched end of May/early June. If you think that "Mozilla Service Week" is not ringing a bell in your language and you would prefer a localized alternative, please put it in the comments along with your locale name. We need this before the translation of the .po file for this project (yes, it's a gettext based localization) so as that the graphics designer can create localized headers in time. The locales that have opted in in m.d.l10n.web to be part of the project are: ar, ca, cs, el, es-*, fa, fr, fy-NL, it, nl, pl, ro, si, sq, th, vi, zh-TW L10n progress for marketing projects mini-sites is tracked here: http://localhost/svn/dashboard/webdashboard/?project=7&task=Firefox+3.5+marketing+mini-sites Note that I have assigned the bug to es-MX in the Web Dashboard, but this is actually a generic Spanish site for es-AR, es-ES, es-MX. Thanks
Don't know if it's relevant, but you gave a localhost link
(In reply to comment #1) > Don't know if it's relevant, but you gave a localhost link oops :) here is the right link: http://l10n.mozilla.org/webdashboard/?project=7&task=Firefox+3.5+marketing+mini-sites
Assign it to all es-XX locales for better tracking, thanks.
(In reply to comment #3) > Assign it to all es-XX locales for better tracking, thanks. I'll see what I can do, the webdashboard does not have meta-locale codes like es, pt or en yet (hadn't thought of it actually :) )
That was actually easy to do: http://localhost/svn/dashboard/webdashboard/?locale=es So the 'es' locale is now a meta-locale for projects in common between the various es-XX localization teams.

For Persian (fa), my suggestion would be: هفتهٔ مشارکت موزیلا
Please use "Java e Shërbimit Mozilla" for sq
For Italian we have three choices. We are still discussing them in our forum. I'll post here the result of the poll not later than next Sunday.
pl. use, "මොසිල්ලා (Mozilla) සේවා සතිය" for Sinhala (si)
What are people translating here ? "Mozilla Service Week" ? The blog post said: Provide a translation for our preliminary start page snippet if you’re on a roll: “Be the Difference! Better your community during Mozilla Service Week, June 22-29. Find out more.”

The blog post said: > > Provide a translation for our preliminary start page snippet if you’re on a > roll: “Be the Difference! Better your community during Mozilla Service Week, > June 22-29. Find out more.” You're right Alexandru, but the above one is the second step. The first point in the blog article says: "Work with your fellow local community members to come to a consensus on an appropriate translation for _“Mozilla Service Week”_ (i.e. discuss in your IRC channel or other forum)"
yes, first step is finding a catchy title in your language, that's the red title that is displayed here: http://chickswhoclick.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/banner1.jpg This is to provide the strings early to the graphics designer.
Pascal, probably the Italian translation will be quite longer than "Mozilla Service Week". The most voted translation is (for now) "La Sette giorni di Mozilla per la collettività" (please do not take it as the final choice). Do you think that this could be a problem or the designers will be able to make it fit the ribbon?
Thanks for clearing it out. The Romanian title would be "Săptămâna comunităților la Mozilla", but we may need to know if we're limited to a certain length, I think most of the locales have a longer word for week than English.
I think it is reasonable to estimate that +30% in length is ok. For French we are also brainstorming and there are possibilities to make it shorter like using '7 days' instead of 'week'. Mary, could you see with you graphics designer if he can make an alternative banner leaving more space for words? Thanks
Hey Pascal: Sure thing, but wanted see if you meant the site header or the affiliate buttons? I'd imagine both are impacted, but wanted to check before pinging TRO. Thanks!
both are impacted but we probably have more flexibility with buttons, since they don't have to be part of the whole design of the site, we can just make larger buttons.
"Mozilla Service Week" doesn't sound right in czech but it's hard to translate too. I have talked with czech locale leader and we think that "Týden Mozilly" is the best translation which we can invent. It sounds good in czech and it's ease to understand. For Czech (cs) please translate like: "Týden Mozilly".
For el we are going to use "Εβδομάδα εθελοντισμού Mozilla" which actually means "Mozilla Volunteering Week" but sounds better in Greek than the translation of "Service". Since that's outside of the +30% margin and if there's a lot of locales with that issue, I think that a possible alternative could be to get the word "Mozilla" out of the banner and put it on top of it, in between the lizard and the banner.
For [it] please use "La Sette giorni di Mozilla per la collettività"
For Arabic (ar), please use: "أسبوع مساعدة المجتمع في موزيلا"
For German (de) please use: "Mozilla-Mitmachwoche"
For Arabic (ar), please use the following new string instead: "أسبوع موزيلا لمساعدة المجتمع"
For Frisian (fy-NL): MOZILLA FRIJWILLIGERSWIKE
For Polish (pl): Tydzień Mozilli (Mozilla Week)
Hi all: We're working on a header that will be more flexible for different languages. We're also creating a certificate of achievement for participants. I'd love to get a few translations in so that we can see if we need to change the design to handle different locales. Certificate image is attached for your reference. Here is the copy: [header] Mozilla Service Week, September 14 - 21, 2009 [Insert name] Name: [sub-copy] You made a Difference. Committed to making the Web available, accessible, and awesome for everyone! [insert hours completed] Hours Served: [insert type of service] Action Taken: [sign off] Thank You – you made someone’s world better! Thank you so much for you help!
We should file a different bug for this so we don't co-mingle the tasks. Some of the localizers who are finished with their work in this bug may not see this request. Mary, can you file a new bug with the attachment and description you provided in comments #27 and #28. You may consider using the feature "Clone This Bug" in the bottom right corner of the Bugzilla page. This will provide a duplicate of the template of this bug and then will allow you to edit the fields appropriately. Be sure to edit the title, reattach the certificate, and keep the "other@website.bugs" in the QA field.

(In reply to comment #21) > For [it] please use "La Sette giorni di Mozilla per la collettività" Even if we choose the shortest Italian translation for "Mozilla Service Week" which is "Settimana Mozilla per la collettività" will be impossible to make it fit within the certificate https://bug494212.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=378899 We need more space, please.
In Vietnamese (vi): "Tuần lễ Tình nguyện Mozilla" (Like in Greek translation, that means "Mozilla Volunteer Week")
Header for French (fr) Mozilla à votre service
Romanian (ro): Săptămâna comunităților la Mozilla
For Dutch (nl): MOZILLA's HELP-EEN-ANDER-WEEK
(In reply to comment #35) > For Dutch (nl): > MOZILLA's HELP-EEN-ANDER-WEEK No. Let’s just stick to Mozilla-serviceweek.
(In reply to comment #36) > (In reply to comment #35) > > For Dutch (nl): > > MOZILLA's HELP-EEN-ANDER-WEEK > > No. Let’s just stick to Mozilla-serviceweek. Please follow up with your arguments on http://www.mozbrowser.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=17073 or http://www.mozbrowser.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=17165, because this seems a bit against the comments mentioned on the Dutch forum. Discussions in this bug aren't appropriate, thanks.
Not intending to dicuss this using this bug, the fact you mention url’s (with no definite outcome) just now may say enough.
For Thai (th): สัปดาห์ Mozilla อาสา
For Catalan (ca): Mozilla al vostre servei
(In reply to comment #25) > For Frisian (fy-NL): > MOZILLA FRIJWILLIGERSWIKE Please change this to: MOZILLA SERVICEWIKE
"Седмица Мозила волонтера" That`s for Serbian(sr)
pascalc, zh-TW is now opting out Service Week project due to shortage to manpower on l10n and promotion. Sorry for any confusion caused. Tim
es localization: Mozilla a tu servicio
(In reply to comment #36) > (In reply to comment #35) > > For Dutch (nl): > > MOZILLA's HELP-EEN-ANDER-WEEK > No. Let’s just stick to Mozilla-serviceweek. This is ok, please make it Mozilla-serviceweek.
