Localization methods

The website is part of AMO and uses gettext. The strings to translate are in a separate file called z-firefoxcup.po. You can either manually commit the this file directly to the SVN or use Verbatim to do it for you.

SVN

 svn co https://svn.mozilla.org/addons/trunk/site/app/locale/ amo
 cd amo/${YOUR_LOCALE}/LC_MESSAGES
 # edit z-firefoxcup.po
 svn ci -m "A commit message"

• Please do not commit the compiled messages.mo files to the SVN.

Verbatim

1. Go to http://localize.mozilla.org/
2. Log in.
3. Go to http://localize.mozilla.org/projects/firefoxcup/
4. Choose your locale and start translating.

At any point, you can have Verbatim commit your work to the SVN by pressing the Commit to VCS button on the Edit page (e.g. for Afrikaans this is http://localize.mozilla.org/af/firefoxcup/LC_MESSAGES/edit.html)

Verbatim permissions

If you cannot edit the translation in Verbatim, please follow the following steps:

1. Go to http://localize.mozilla.org/
2. Log in using your LDAP credentials. This will automatically create a new user account for you.
3. Send your LDAP e-mail address to stas mozilla com in an e-mail like this:

 Subject: Access to Verbatim ${locale} for ${your ldap email}
 Body: <empty>

Staś will add proper permissions for your user account.
