Hello,

We're gonna use this bug to track progress of and work on mobile and plugins banner translation. I have copied over your translation from etherpad into this bug.

Now, it would be really awesome if you could create the banners based on PSD files that you can find attached in bug 674077

In case you are not able to do that, please comment in this bug, and we're gonna try to find someone who can help you with that.

Once the designs are ready, please attach them here, and we'll take care of the rest!

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Here's your translation from etherpad:

下載 Android 版本的 Firefox

Sorry for mistake. Files attached in bug I mentioned in descriptions are only PNG files. I have uploaded PSD files to:

http://people.mozilla.org/~mdinic/FirefoxForMobilePSD.zip

Sorry for inconvenience.
Milos, We have Meta as standardized font for Firefox's Logo in Latin alphabets, but do we have any for CJK, or for Chinese words at least?
In the art works before at Mozilla Taiwan, I usually use these commercial fonts below in coordination to FF Meta,
華康儷黑 (DFLiHeiStd), 華康黑體 (DFHeiStd) from DynaComware Corp.,
If we want to keep it open, we can use 文泉驛微米黑 (WenQuanYiMicroHei), the derivative of Droid Sans, and 文泉驛正黑 (WenQuanYiZenHei) from WenQuanYi Board of Trustees.

I don't think the font would be problem, since it only affiliates images, we're not provide the original fonts files,
and I'm working on the images now.

Does the word "Desktop" in the menu need to be localized? As well?

Well yes I think so, but the string "Desktop" is already localized on Verbatim.

The part of mentioning header in messages.po file is as below, it seems that the localized string of desktop was not used in the page template? 

#: templates/global/footer.html:40
msgid "Desktop"
msgstr "桌面"

#: templates/global/footer.html:53 templates/global/header.html:24
msgid "Mobile"
msgstr "行動"
Thank you Peter, that's fantastic.
I'm really angry for the final site.

1. The desktop Firefox affiliates image in currently site had not been available in this bug. I can't accept that I'd been contribution the mobile image, but don't have the chance to review the image for desktop firefox.

2. In Comment 5 I'd localized all the request image, but final outcome had been modify and become a REALLY MISTAKE. All the zh-tw mobile affailiates images shows "Download Firefox version's Android". WTF is That?
The grammar for chinese and grammer for english is really different, same as the other languages, that we can't just replace all the word in english materials to chinese and consider think we'd done the localization job, otherwist it will become a whole Joke in the final result, that's why we'd so much ppls contribute to the l10n project on Mozilla Community, and that's what I see at this project.

I always think Mozilla is a project growths with global respective.
Peter, 

The content for the buttons, we took the translation from this etherpad not from verbatim: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/ff-mobilebuttons-l10n

Hi Irvin, 
Thank you for your note. I'm sorry that you are angry about the final site. Let's try and figure out what happened and how we can fix it. I think the error was my fault.

We didn't upload any of the localized the banners onto the dev site (as there were almost 200 of them), but we should have run them past you to double check. 

However, I know where the error happened. Prior to launch I was able to get a designer to lay out the localized buttons using the Meta font. We hadn't thought that we'd be able to do this, which is why we'd asked for localizers to help us out. Most of the localizers didn't have the software to do it and we were quite stuck. You had very kindly laid out the buttons before this using a font very close to it. When we were actually able to get the buttons laid out, I used the translation from the etherpad, not the translation you had provided in the buttons you laid out. Again, this should have been run past you to confirm that it had been done correctly. 

This whole situation really adds to the need for us to use an open font, but that is a conversation for another bug. 

I am very sorry for this. 

In terms of getting it corrected as quickly as we can, is it only the Firefox for Android button that it is incorrect? Or are there errors in the Firefox for Desktop and Firefox plugin buttons?

Please let me know as soon as you can. I will get them corrected and confirmed with you as soon as I can and we can get the corrected buttons uploaded asap.

Chelsea, 

I know those strings were pulled from etherpad, but the comment 7 & 8 were talking about the issue of navigation bar of in header. 

I've tried for many locales and every of them are still showing "DESKTOP" no matter what the language is. Hence the comment 8 indicated the description of both "Desktop" and "Mobile" two strings in contrast on Verbatim  :)
BTW, I can confirm the problem affects the buttons for Firefox Mobile only. 

For the buttons of Plugin Check, there's a issue that we have different styles of punctuation marks, "," for comma and "。" for periods. Removing these marks is welcomed but this is a not-that-big problem.
Peter, 

If it's the header, then I'll ping Milos and mkelly about it and see how we fix that. I think we'll need to file a separate bug to sort that out as it relates to the site and not the buttons themselves (if I am understanding you correctly).

Can you confirm for the that the characters are correct in the first comment on this bug so we can get the images corrected? I don't want to make the same mistake twice.

Thanks!
Chelsea
The header is a code issue; the word Desktop isn't run through the localization function: https://github.com/mozilla/django-moz-header/blob/unified/header.html#L11

Filing a bug and attaching it to the 1.1 milestone is your best bet for getting that out.
Sure, the characters are correct.

But since I couldn't tell the difference of fonts used between Irvin's and the current artwork, would it be easier for you to use one or some of the files he provided? It came with a better translation and layout design of sentences.

Text below are what he provided:
======

Thanks :)
Sure. You're good with the fonts not matching the rest of the buttons though?
Okay, we are uploading them to production. Thanks for your help!

Yes, I just compared with the firefox mobile buttons.

Thanks a lot, too!
Hi Peter, 

I need help with one more thing. We didn't use all the buttons for launch. Can you confirm that these buttons that I'm linking too match the ones that are live on the site?

I think the localization for a slogan is not basically translate any word, but to tell the thought we want to say. Thus the translate of mine and etherpad one is different. Also the font I'd choose to match the meaning of the slogan.

The translate of Firefox for desktop and plugin one is not really well, especially the content of plugin one. There have been several ppls ask me what's the meaning of "Groom Parrot" and why it's associate with plugin. I think we'd to figure out the better localization content for that one, and it's not only needed for zhtw, for all the locale.

Yes, they all correct images matching to the ones alive, except the 160*600 blue one isn't here.

Confirm for that. You can also get mobile_dl_125x125_color for the smallest one for mobile.
Thank you both. There's only one version of the 125x125 so no guessing needed there.

and yes Irvin, the plugin ones is really awkward to translate. I don't think we'll be making buttons in the style or if we do, we'll supply a simple english version to localize. 

Thanks again!
I've uploaded 9 of the new zh-TW banners to production. Thanks!
