The web parts are starting to look good, only a few strings are missing or should be marked with the {ok} tag. I don't know if locamotion allows indicating that a string should remain identical to English, Arky can you see with the team about these strings and see if Locamotion allows that? If not, we will need to patch the ms repo to indicate the strings that should remain identical, data to be provided by the ms team.

Thanks

Pootle doesn't have a feature to tag/mark identical strings. There is a feature request filed against translate toolkit for this. 

Please advise follow up action in the meantime.

As I said, the team should provide a patch marking those strings with the {ok} tag on our source code so as that we get a green dashboard. They can also indicate in this bug which strings should remain in English and we can patch the files for them if needed.

ms is in product-details with Aurora activated:
http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/libs/product-details/firefoxDetails.class.php?revision=123113&view=markup#l508

ms is activated in Bedrock (Python site) as a supported locale:
https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/blob/master/bedrock/settings/base.py#L40

ms is activated for all old urls on the PHP site:
http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc?view=revision&revision=123276

Home page and other prominent pages in Malay:
https://www.mozilla.org/ms/
http://www.mozilla.org/ms/contribute/
http://www.mozilla.org/ms/products/
http://www.mozilla.org/ms/mission/
http://www.mozilla.org/ms/about/

Plugincheck app:
https://www.mozilla.org/ms/plugincheck/

Channel page for downloads of Aurora/Beta:
http://www.mozilla.org/ms/firefox/channel/

Download page for when the locale is on the release channel:
http://www.mozilla.org/ms/firefox/new/

Closing this bug as the locale is in good shape regarding web parts for shipping. Please note that this is a photography of the state of the site as of today, what matters for shipping Firefox is the state of the web parts when we do release it, so these pages need to be maintained, there are on average 20 new strings per week on mozilla.org/fhr.

Thanks!

Hi Pascal,

The PO file will have translations as such:

blank - no translation - equivalent to same source and target without {ok} in .lang
translate - obvious
same - i.e. source == target - equivalent to text with {ok} in .lang

Hope that answers your question

So, if I understand it correctly, the localizer just needs to copy and paste the original string in the localization field to mark it as {ok}.

Dwayne,

I have question according your information above. We have a lot string blank for translate in Firefox Aurora. How could fix this seem it show as incompleted in Pootle ms dashboard?

Correct, just copying it in Pootle means to us that the translator has specifically chosen to keep that string untranslated.

They can always find those strings again using the 'Unchanged' check.

For Web parts we're relying on your tools to do the right thing re {ok} markers.

This is unrelated to the main bug, but let me answer you here.

The issue arise because sometimes the DTD and .properties entries are in fact blank and either are used for configuration i.e. you add something, or are used is concatenated sentences e.g. something.start and something.end.

The easiest workaround at the moment is to add a single space to such strings.  It isn't ideal but it seems to have no negative consequences at the moment.

Hope that helps.
