585432 - (fxhome-l10n-ja) [tracking] [ja] Localize Firefox Home into Japanese

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: ja / Japanese, defect)

Description

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

We already have our web content here:
http://mozilla.jp/firefox/home/

Now we have to localize the app itself.

For testing the App on a device, I will need each locale to provide me with the GUID number from one Apple iPhone 3, 3GS or 4 OR an iPod touch.  Apple has allocated us a very limited number of testing slots for our beta program so we cannot make a universal build for everyone.  

Please email me ([e-mail]) the GUID number and your exact device/model description so we can set you up in the Apple beta testing system.

We are code freezing the *application* on Monday, August 16 at 16:00 PDT (UTC -7).  Please have all of the application strings translated by that time.  If you have any edits, please make them by that time and notify me.

I attached localized/translated app strings, app store description and mail text for each bugs. Please use them or the release.

What is the proper character encoding for emails in each locale?
e.g. utf-8 is not the standard for emails, in Japan, ISO-2022-JP is best [1]

Firefox Home is now available for testing.  In order to make it accessible to as many people as possible who may not have an iPhone, we set up a remote machine with the iPhone emulator to test the app.  We will not be using GUID numbers, as we had thought earlier.

To log in to the remote machine, you will need a remote desktop viewer client, sometimes referred to as a VNC.  If you do not have a VNC client, you can download realvnc or tightvnc (viewer only).  Google for "Tightvnc Viewer".  On Ubuntu, it should be located in Applications --> Internet --> Remove Desktop Viewer.

Once you launch the VNC application, it should ask for a hostname.  You will need to enter "l10n-fxhome.community.mozilla.com".  This is where we have set up a VM with Mac OS and the iPhone emulator.  You will be asked for a password, so you will need to email me so I can share with you the password.  

Instructions on testing are visible in an open document on the remote desktop.  You will immediately notice that multiple users can access this *one* machine at the same time.  Therefore, be sure to state what localization is testing at the time you are testing.

Any questions, please email me.  [e-mail]

New strings have landed for the next release of Firefox Home (1.0.3).  I will reopen this and leave it open to track future work for your locale.

Translation updated.

note: I updated some existing translations as well as adding new translations.
Just to make sure (I believe it's already done by automatically), don't forget to update whole ja l10n strings.
