742295 - [en-GB] Translate updated home page for 3.x users

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: Other, defect)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

On April 24, Firefox 3.6 will reach it's end of life and will no longer be supported.

The Firefox start page is currently google.com/firefox (hosted by Google), when 3.6 is no longer supported, that page will no longer be proposed and Firefox users of older unsupported versions of Firefox will see a page hosted on mozilla infrastructure instead of Google with the same functionnality but with a big warning about their version being obsolete.

We need to translate a few strings for this warning as well as translate the strings that were in the search page interface provided by Google

Here is the staging server:
http://start-dev.allizom.org/en-gb

(The file already has a couple of strings translated from mozilla.org)

The file is stored in a separate repository, here is the url to the reposirory:
http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/l10n-misc/trunk/fx36start/locale/en-GB/

and a direct link to the file:
http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/l10n-misc/trunk/fx36start/locale/en-GB/fx36start.lang

Please send your translation to the above repo or alternatively attach it to this bug and I will commit for you.

Don't forget to save your file as utf8 as usual :)

Thanks!

Assigning to Mark although I am never really sure what to do with British Earknglish bugs ;)

Mark, can you do this localization? Maybe the en-US strings need some regional tweaks, if they don't just mention it in the bug and I will close it. Thanks

We haven't heard from the en-GB localizer, CCing more British people that may tell us if we can use the en-US strings as is (http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/l10n-misc/trunk/fx36start/locale/en-GB/fx36start.lang) or if we need to change some words or spelling. Thanks

All of the strings in the file mentioned in comment 2 are OK in British English.

Removed en-GB from the localization files in r104522. I aliased the locale in https://github.com/mozilla/fx36start/commit/fd8f5bf .
