63507 - Mozilla Search HTML file should have its entities externalized

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Internationalization: Localization, defect, P2)

Description

[Karl Ove Hufthammer]

en-US jar contains a HTML file (invalid too, I might add), just containing the
words 'Mozilla Search'. This is used in the search results pane when searching
several search engines at the same time. This should be made into XUL, and the
string should be externalized (into a DTD file). Localizing HTML files is much
harder than localizing XUL, and *invalid* HTML files doesn't make it any easier ...

What is the file name?  There are some help HTML files. Are you talking about 
them?

Marking nsbranch- as it was decided in the August bug triage that we wouldn't
have enough time in eMojo to fix this.  Let's revisit for MachV.

Comment 24

[rchen]

Ben, since you created the file default.htm, can you fix it?

Comment 25

[Ben Goodger (use ben at mozilla dot org for email)]

I disagree that this should become XUL... this is a filler for a content area.
If this were to become XUL we'd need to introduce a lot of new style just to
make it look like HTML. The entity externalization point is valid however. 

Comment 26

[Peter Trudelle]

nsbeta1- per Nav triage team
