900472 - [pl] Create a localized badge to promote the Firefox Marketplace

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: pl / Polish, defect)

Description

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

We recently worked with the Creative team to produce these Firefox Marketplace call to action badges:

https://assets.mozillalabs.com/Projects/Firefox%20Marketplace/Badges/

These badges will be used by the Firefox OS apps developers to promote and share the link for the app download in Firefox Marketplace.

We want to offer a localized badge for your locale.

The first step is to provide a translation of the text on, this badge, the text is:

GET IT IN THE Firefox MARKETPLACE

You can look at the url above to see how this is rendered. You may have to adapt a bit the text so as to make it fit in the button. If the text layout on this button represents a challenge for your language, we can brainstorm here and tweak the text and/or the design to make the still button look good for your locale. 

Once we have the string translated, we can ask the Designer to actually integrate your text in the button and check that it is correct (fonts /ex).

Thanks

Note: don't try to commit your localization to the .lang file (the repository is read only). 

Please but your localization here in the bug and tell us when it can be considered final, we'll add it to the file.

I would suggest translating the button to:

POBIERZ Z Firefox MARKETPLACE

I'm pinging the Polish community to give some feedback on this.

Comment 3

[Wojciech Szczęsny]

I agree with Sara.

Comment 4

[Bartosz Piec]

+1 to Sara's translation. And it doesn't have any non-ASCII characters! :)

Can we see it on a button?

Comment 5

[Bartosz Piec]

What should we do next?

Comment 6

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Good question, we need to wait for news from the creative team.

Comment 7

[Stefan Plewako [:stef]]

Translation provided in comment 2, I see no reason to keep this open.

Comment 8

[Sara Prussak]

Weren't we waiting for the creative guys to provide us with what the button will look like to see if the layout doesn't break the translation for some reason?

Comment 9

[Stefan Plewako [:stef]]

Maybe… but the project seems to be dead now and we can always reopen if sth will be wrong.

A different bug was opened on this very same request and was wrapped up.  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=880696

Hey there, 

I have taken over the localization of these buttons as they are being added to the Affiliates program. And as such I have some of the direction that was missing from this bug. 

The direction missing on how to localize marketplace is that the whole name "Firefox Marketplace" is a brand name and can't be altered. The way it was done, only Firefox was treated like a brand.

This is an example of how the brand team would like it treated, where the branding stays the same but, the words leading up to it change:

http://developer.android.com/distribute/googleplay/promote/badges.html

If you are interested, this is where we are tracking the design of the localized buttons: 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=952618 and where we discovered the issue.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this and thank you. 

Best, 
Chelsea

The Polish translation provided in this bug already treats "Firefox Marketplace" as a brand name and leaves it unaltered accordingly. Given that, do you need anything altered in the translation?

Comment 13

[Chelsea Novak [:chelsea]]

Nope. I will post the graphics here for you review when they are completed. Thanks!

Comment 14

[Bartosz Piec]

Any news on this?

Comment 15

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Here's the badge

Can you please confirm if everything looks right?

Comment 16

[Sara Prussak]

It looks fine :)

Comment 17

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Thanks, closing then.

Comment 18

[Bartosz Piec]

What do you think about making this change:

POBIERZ
Z FIREFOX
MARKETPLACE

"Z" letter should not be placed at the end of line in Polish.

Comment 19

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

I think the idea is to have "FIREFOX MARKETPLACE" in a different font, not sure how good it would look

See for example Serbian

This is what I mean (kind of): https://i.imgur.com/YbVFGqS.png?1

Comment 21

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Decision is up to the Polish team ;-)

In case the current design is not OK, please reopen the bug and we'll CC Sean to get if updated.
