For the Firefox Affiliates launch this month, we'd like to have a snippet on the Aurora channel.

Ty is producing a graphic in this bug:https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690386
Copy will be: Become a Firefox Affiliate today. Join the leaderboard for your chance to win great prizes by spreading Firefox with the world!

It would be great if this could go live around Oct 17.

Let me know if you have any questions and thanks!

Destination URL?

Otherwise we're set for the 17th.
affiliates.mozilla.org

Sorry about that!
Hey Laura, 

We are getting the snippet localized for the launch locales. Should I file separate bugs for each locale or list them here?
what part of the string to translate is the link with the call to action?
The "Become a Firefox Affiliate today." part.

Thanks!
Can you provide an alernate snippet that wouldn't use the word "leaderboard"? I think it may be difficult to translate. (continuing our conversation from IRC here, I can't get a stable IRC connection tonight)
Pascal: Try

Become a Firefox Affiliate and get everything you need to share Firefox with the world!

The link would be around "Become a Firefox Affiliate"

(and to finish the conversation from IRC, I saw leaderboards at races all the time in Europe ;), but happy to provide alternatives)
That snippet is fine (and a leaderboard in French would be something like "tableau des scores" or podium, so yes, it exists, but that would sound weird in a non-sport context and we have locales all over the world so the more generic the better :) )
Yay for options :)
The snippet was added to the snippets.lang file on mozilla.org, that means localizers have a notification on their webdashboard about it and they get also a warning in the RSS feed for their locale. We will let localizers update the repository with their translation and  will also file individual bugs tomorrow for the locales we target and haven't done it yet.
Awesome. Thank you Pascal!
Hey Pascal, 

Any update on which locales are good to go?

We need (along with EN-US) PT-BR, ES, DE, Zh-TW, Sl, PL, NL, Fy-NL for sure.

Let me know and thanks!

As of the end of the week end, we have the snippet for these locales:
ast, cs, de, es-ES, et, fa, fr, hr, is, lt, nl, ru, sk, sl, sq, zh-TW

I emailed the ones missing in your list privately
We now have all the locales in comment 12 plus a few more
Which are the few more? We only have affiliates localized in the locales in comment 12. It would be great to know which ones we can add once the site has been localized into more languages.
http://l10n.mozilla.org/~pascalc/langchecker/?locale=all&website=0

look at the snippets.lang table, all the locales with 0 'identical' strings have the snippet localized.
Michael - Adding you to this bug since the l10n versions warrant a bulk import to the snippet service. Can you help out here?

Chelsea - Please provide the final list of locales that should go live on the 17th 1.0 launch of the site somewhere on this bug, or add a link to where those final translated snippets are located.
Sure, just let me know when you want them and I'll do the import.
Hey Laura, the launch locales are 

EN-US, PT-BR, ES, DE, Zh-TW, Sl, PL, NL, Fy-NL.

Pascal can you tell me where the final translated snippets can be found? Also, thank you for getting all those other locales translated. 

Thanks!

The snippets are on svn:

http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/fr/includes/l10n/snippets.lang

Just change the locale code to get the right file
Live date: mkelly can advise. :)
The snippets have been pulled and imported into the production snippets service and are waiting to be activated by lforrest.

Hey Laura, 

Any eta on when these will go live? Let us know when you can and thanks!

These were deployed 10/19. 

MC ID = "aff" for when you are looking up traffic within the "Campaign Conversion" report within the affiliates WT profile.
