Bugzilla Localization Working Group

There are people who make localizatons happen: the localizers.

Also, there are people who make localizations possible: architects, analysts, and developers. Localization as long-term design goal may affect decision making in many points that may look orthogonal.

People

The l10n team has been created on 36th meeting.

  • Siarhei, Belarus
  • Cédric Corazza (Cedric), France
  • Marc Schumann (Wurblzap), Germany
  • Shimono Atsushi (himorin), Japan
  • Vitaly Fedrushkov (SnowyOwl), Russia

Objectives

Knowledge sharing 
Reduce effort duplication between localization projects.
Localizability improvement 
Fix mainstream product bugs which lead to problems in localized sites. Offer rigorous testing for changes affecting i18n.
Better tools 
Use and develop better tools to facilitate localization.
User support 
Develop uniform terminology for application domain in each language. Provide support to Bugzilla users in their languages.
