560493 - [ast] Firefox 3.6 protocol handler setup for Asturian

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: ast / Asturian, defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Protocol handlers are a new feature in Firefox 3.6 that allows links like mailto:[e-mail] to be handled by a webmail application.

In order to do that, the site needs to support a special API described on http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web-based_protocol_handlers.

For en-US, we're currently shipping with GMail and Yahoo! Mail for mailto:,  30boxes for webcal: and Mibbit for irc: urls, and we're on a ongoing evangelism effort to add more. For Asturian, we'd like to do that, too.

First, the localization team and Stas (Stas Malolepszy) will look at the market for the language and come up with a good candidates. Iñigo, Marcos, we'll need your input on this, the guidelines for making recommendations are on <https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Firefox/Productization>. Following that is a reach out by the evangelism team to try to get the vendor to support protocol handlers.

Once that happens, Stas will take over in reviewing the actual implementation, which will need to change the gecko.handlerService.* entries in browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties. Please don't make changes to that file without getting a positive review by Stas or somebody else appointed by Stas/Sethb on a patch for that change upfront.

Hi!
For the Asturian language we do not have recommendations (not exists).
Please, use the default ;)
Thanks!

OK, we'll go with the defaults.  By the way, you can find the en-US defaults here:

http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.2/file/d5c0d2bcb518/browser/locales/en-US/chrome/browser-region/region.properties

That code says:

# The default set of protocol handlers for webcal:
gecko.handlerService.schemes.webcal.0.name=30 Boxes
gecko.handlerService.schemes.webcal.0.uriTemplate=http://30boxes.com/external/widget?refer=ff&url=%s
 
# The default set of protocol handlers for mailto:
gecko.handlerService.schemes.mailto.0.name=Yahoo! Mail
gecko.handlerService.schemes.mailto.0.uriTemplate=http://compose.mail.yahoo.com/?To=%s 
gecko.handlerService.schemes.mailto.1.name=Gmail
gecko.handlerService.schemes.mailto.1.uriTemplate=https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s

# The default set of protocol handlers for irc:
gecko.handlerService.schemes.irc.0.name=Mibbit
gecko.handlerService.schemes.irc.0.uriTemplate=https://www.mibbit.com/?url=%s

# The default set of protocol handlers for ircs:
gecko.handlerService.schemes.ircs.0.name=Mibbit
gecko.handlerService.schemes.ircs.0.uriTemplate=https://www.mibbit.com/?url=%s

Hi! Should I change something in the hg repository? :P Thanks!

We don't have that repo yet, I'll ping you in the shipping bug once we do. I'll likely have the en-US defaults in the repo when I do the initial landing, though.

That's what we have in http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n-mozilla-1.9.2/ast/file/13f93d40e51b/browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties#l26, FIXED.

If you have changes that you'd like to do, please file a bug upfront, CC stas and submit a patch for review.
