666154 - Thunderbird 5 landing page localization

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(www.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Thunderbird, defect)

Description

[Andrei [:sancus]]

This is a tracking bug for Thunderbird landing page localization, each language l10n bug will block this bug.

Comment 1

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Since someone just made me notice this: why the download button on localized pages is different from the en-US one? The second line (OS, language) is missing on all localized pages.

Comment 2

[Andrei [:sancus]]

The new style of download button is without version, OS, and language. I should probably remove those things from the en-US page to be consistent. You can see the same on http://www.mozilla.com for firefox.

Is a new style but is a wrong style. What about people who don't know if the offered version is compatible with their OS version or MSR?

You should probably add back those things to the other locale instead. ;-)

> You can see the same on http://www.mozilla.com for firefox.

Nope, for Firefox 5 we still see browser version and OS. ;-)

Please Mozilla, at least once, listen to the Community's opinions instead of acting like a stubborn mom. ;-D

On en-US, there aren't any. Mozilla Europe hasn't updated to this style yet. Not sure whether they will or not. It's something of an experiment.

I'll talk to our designers and consider changing it, but one person isn't 'the community' and comments like these aren't terribly productive or useful :)

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

sorry, but on en-US you have the platform and language indicated:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/

Mozilla Europe uses exactly the same display for the download box: http://europe.mozilla.org/en/

True, one person isn't the Community, but one person may represent many other people and so be the Community.  ;-)
Anyway many thank Andrei for having taken in account our suggestion.
Know what Andrei, you're right once more, but lately Mozilla didn't take us, the Community, enough in consideration and so, sometime, somebody (like us) may write some looking-like-not-useful-comment just because feel tired of this situation. ;-D
Anyway Andrei, think that if  we're here filling a bug and writing our opinions it is because we care about Mozilla and we do not want it does unnecessary mistakes. ;-)

Comment 7

[Andrei [:sancus]]

I take all comments seriously. The reason the download buttons are the way they are is because of the way some of the code outputs HTML and the CSS I had on hand. This was easiest and nobody objected during development. The new TB site was built on an extremely short schedule.

I have time to look at this in more detail now that we're launched, so I will.

Again Andrei: many many thanks! :)

Mass-moving Thunderbird-specific bugs to the new www.mozilla.org/thunderbird component.

If you believe that this particular bug was moved in error, feel free to move it back to the www.mozilla.org component.

Filter bugmail on 'sancyouverymuch'.

[Gordon P. Hemsley [:GPHemsley]]

Ugh, forgot to reset the QA contact.

Still filter bugmail with 'sancyouverymuch'.

Closing old Thunderbird L10n website bugs that are no longer relevant -> wontfix.
