586311 - [hy-AM] Firefox 4.0 News reader setup for Armenian

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: hy-AM / Armenian, defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

News readers are web services allowing users to subscribe to RSS/ATOM feeds online and view them. If Firefox detects a feed, it offers the user to subscribe to it, either as a live bookmark or via one of the web services.

The current News Readers in en-US are Bloglines, My Yahoo, Google.

We want to ship a good set of defaults for Armenian, and will work towards that in three stages.

First, the localization team and Stas (Stas Malolepszy) will look at the market for the language and come up with a good candidates. Armen, we'll need your input on this, the guidelines for making recommendations are on <https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Firefox/Productization>. After we decided on a particular news reader, Stas will contact the owner and ask for permission. Armen, we'll likely need your help to at least get the contact information.

Once we have a specification on what the set of news readers for Armenian should look like, the localization team and Stas will work on an implementation on that. This should happen by the localization team creating and attaching patches for the desired changes, and requesting review from Stas. After a successful review, the localization team will land them. If you're not feeling comfortable with creating those changes, ask Stas to help out.

Please don't commit any modifications in browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties to the hg repository without a patch reviewed by Stas, Axel or someone else appointed by Stas/SethB. The data here is sensitive to users and our search partners, thus the extra care here.

Robert do you know if there are any news feed readers in Armenian or if the set in English is what is mostly used?

The code Axel is referring to is:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/locales/en-US/chrome/browser-region/region.properties#8

10 browser.contentHandlers.types.0.title=Bloglines
11 browser.contentHandlers.types.0.uri=http://www.bloglines.com/login?r=/sub/%s
12 browser.contentHandlers.types.1.title=My Yahoo!
13 browser.contentHandlers.types.1.uri=http://add.my.yahoo.com/rss?url=%s
14 browser.contentHandlers.types.2.title=Google
15 browser.contentHandlers.types.2.uri=http://fusion.google.com/add?feedurl=%s

Unfortunately my research and surveys have been unfruitful.

We are going with English defaults in patch https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=474391&action=edit

http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/hy-AM/diff/a3372bf55351/browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties did some changes to region.properties again :-/

The license headers should be OK, but the translation of the yahoo marks is probably not a good idea. Not blocking beta on this, though.
