810865 - [ga-IE] Update Whatsnew page and about:home snippets for Firefox and Social API

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: L10N, defect)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel (relman team) -> :pascalc]

Firefox 17 will not be a silent update and whill have a /whatsnew/ page displayed to promote the SocialAPI/Facebook messages feature integrated in the browser.

We don't have the page created yet but it will be very similar to the current whatsnew page. We will also have promotional messages on the about:home page for this feature, those strings are in snippets.lang.

As the page is not created yet, we don't have it on a staging server, but it will be at this address at some point:

https://www.allizom.org/b/ga-IE/firefox/17.0/whatsnew/

The Creative team sent me the strings needed and I updated the files in your svn repo (whatsnew.lang and snippets.lang).

If you never translated that file, that's about 30 strings, otherwise it's just a dozen strings.

whatsnew.lang
http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/locales/ga-IE/whatsnew.lang?view=co

snippets.lang
http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/locales/ga-IE/snippets.lang?view=co

If you have already translated your files since you saw them on your webdashboard (http://l10n.mozilla-community.org/webdashboard/?locale=ga-IE), please wait for the page to be set up by the webdev team to make sure we have all the strings working and that the page displays correctly for your locale.

As usual, please send your translation to the svn repository for your locale (http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/locales/ga-IE) or attach your updated file to this bug and I will put them on the server for you.

Thanks!

Translations done and committed to SVN (r110606), will wait for staging before closing.

I put a screenshot of the page with your translation :

We may use it with 17.0.1, otherwise that will be for Firefox 18. The newsletter box strings were added in newsletter.lang btw

Translated those extra strings as committed as r111217.  I had "Sign me up" translated already but the translation didn't appear in the screenshot linked above.  Could we double check that it's working before the release?

Huh, the diff shows a change on that line:

http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/locales/ga-IE/newsletter.lang?r1=111217&r2=111216&pathrev=111217

Probably a missing new line in the previous revision. Hopefully it will be ok now.

The 'Sign me up' showning in English is a bug in the template code generating the form (Bug 816531), I made a patch today to get that fixed before the release.
