661134 - [tracking] Translation of the Plugin Check page for Firefox

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: plugins.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel (relman team) -> :pascalc]

Plugin Check is now an in-product page linked from the addons manager

This bug is a tracker for the translation of this page for Firefox 5.

Per locale bugs with instructions will be filed.

The associated banners creation and promotional campaign is not part of this translation, we might update the page in the future for that.

It's just me or some content looks outdated, e.g. in FAQs it keeps referring to "Tools->Add-ons" when users from Firefox 4 don't have a menu bar by default.

Also, in the "no JavaScript" warning: I don't see the point of "Please enable this Content Preference and reload the page." when the page is designed to be multibrowser and that's specific for Firefox.

P.S. I'm aware that I can adapt the text for my locale, but I think that the English page needs some extra checks ;-)

Let's translate what we have now, IMO 95% of the interest of the page is the plugin checker, not the meta information around it. If we wait for the English version to  be perfect, we will never provide the tool for non-English speaker.

Agreed that text needs to be updated, but also agree with Pascal wrt getting it updated and adding minor edits later. I've filed 661526 for the text refresh, but please don't block on that, as there will be minor changes to address Firefox future and other browsers.

$message[19] = "current version plugin";

I think there is a problem with non-ascii chars in this string. If I translate this string and I try it on the stage I see broken chars in Google search.

Czech translation:
* "aktuální verze"

On Google I see:
* "aktuĂĄlnĂ­ verze"

http://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/cs/plugincheck/#
-> http://www.google.com/search?q=aktu%C3%A1ln%C3%AD%20verze%20Windows%20Live%C2%99%20Photo%20Gallery

Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?
