727653 - Activate BrowserID for other locales

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Firefox Affiliates Graveyard :: affiliates.mozilla.org, defect, P2)

Description

[Osmose [:osmose, :mkelly]]

BrowserID has been released in several new locales, and is not available in all our current production locales except sr-Latn and pt-BR. We should enable BrowserID auth for all the other locales.

chelsea, milos: When pt-BR and sr-Latn are done, we will want to remove the code for the old authentication method. The downside to this is that we won't be able to add new locales that BrowserID doesn't have. Are we okay with this limitation?

ozten: Is there anything special that needs to change with the BrowserID code we have, or will it auto-detect the user's locale and work without changes?

No other special tweaks for BrowserID code is needed.

Comment 2

[Chelsea Novak [:chelsea]]

Can we see a list of locales that we have browserID for? These are the locales that we're working on right now
Russian RU
Korean KO
Turkish TR
Macedonian MK

Russian is very important to us in terms market growth. 

Our wishlist for the rest of 2012 is:
Indonesian ID
Taglog (Philippines) TL
Japanese JA
Malay (Malaysia) MS
Simplified Chinese Zh-CN
Swahili SW
Swedish SV
Hindi HI-IN
Vietnamese VI
Farsi FI
Italian IT
Punjabi PA-IN
Telgu TE-IN

Let me know! Thanks!

Here's the list of locales currently live for Persona: https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/blob/dev/config/l10n-prod.json

Given that list and the mess that we have currently for maintaining two types of login systems, I suggest that as part of the redesign we switch to Persona-only login. Thoughts?

As per comment 3, part of the redesign will involve Persona-only login. That effort is tracked by 945867 and its dependencies, so this particular bug is a WONTFIX. :D
