Expected results:

I would like to get danish language into Firefox OS so i can test it on my Geeksphone.

I don't know exactly what needs to be done.

So far i managed to get danish into the master branch locales/languages_all.json file.

I wrote in the geeksphone forum and one answered that danish is only in the master branch and that it needs to be in the 1.2 branch before they can add it to theyr images that i can download and put on my phone to test.

Then there is keyboard/layouts/ that need a danish layout. I guess i could try and make a file my self but i dont know if i can upload it my self or what.

Then there is the danish translation for the apps/ folder which has been translated by some other danish guys but we dont know what we should do to it gets into future versions of Firefox OS.

So please tell me what i can do to help get danish language into Firefox OS.

The danish translation is here if someone can help getting it into Firefox OS : https://bitbucket.org/mozilladanmark/gaia-da/src
OS: All → Gonk (Firefox OS)
How do i get danish translation https://hg.mozilla.org/gaia-l10n/da/ into https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/gaia-l10n/v1_2/ ?
So that Geeksphone can put it into theyr images so i can test it on my phone.
https://hg.mozilla.org/gaia-l10n/da/ is Firefox OS 1.4
https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/gaia-l10n/v1_2/ is Firefox OS 1.2
There is a huge difference between the two, it needs some work from l10n Danish team.

First, let's ask Danish team if they would like to maintain several branches.
Flags: needinfo?(ludvigs)
Component: Gaia → da / Danish
Product: Firefox OS → Mozilla Localizations
So will https://hg.mozilla.org/gaia-l10n/da/ become Firefox OS 1.5 later on ? and then 1.6 ?
So if we only maintain https://hg.mozilla.org/gaia-l10n/da/ it will never get on my phone ?

Yes, that's the idea. But for da, it's a bit more complicated, https://hg.mozilla.org/gaia-l10n/da/ is actually tracking 1.3 against master.

That's not the question, it will. It's just a matter of time.

Maintaining 3 or 4 branches  at the same time is a pain for localizers, trust me.
Especially when there are a lot of backouts/landings across branches, like these days on gaia.
We have to deal with uplifts, QA over the branches, etc. So that's much more work than opening one or two more repositories, it needs to be worth it.

But I won't speak for the Danish team :)
How do i know what Firefox OS version that https://hg.mozilla.org/gaia-l10n/da/ is for ?

It is usually announced on mozilla.dev.l10n when the version changes.

You can always see the version this way:
* Go to https://l10n.mozilla.org/teams/da
* Click the link on the status column next to gaia-community
* Click on the "build xyz" link near the top
* The version number is somewhere on that page
Thanks.
Does this mean that when Firefox OS 1.3 comes it will automatically include the danish translation or how do we do so the danish translation get into Firefox OS 1.3 ?
Geeksphone now offer 1.3 images on they website http://downloads.geeksphone.com/ so that is good and we dont need to make a 1.2 branch of the danish translation.

So it will be fine if we can get the danish translation into the 1.3 branch of Firefox OS.

I have just installed the 1.3 image on my phone but danish is not included and nighter is the danish keyboard layout.
Axel, looks like the danish team would like to get danish on GP builds, would it be possible to create https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/gaia-l10n/v1_3/da for them?
