Before updating your changes, you need to edit hg files to use your ssh key required by Mozilla to allow commiting in their repositories. I copy-paste the code that is [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/L10n_on_Mercurial#Sending_your_changes_to_mozilla here]: | |||
[begin] | |||
With mercurial you work in your own repository. After finishing a change or set of changes you should commit: | |||
hg commit -m "message identifying the change (bug 555)" | |||
Unlike CVS this won't send your changes to Mozilla's repository. First you need to push the changes. To push to l10n-central and other mozilla-hosted repositories you have to have committer access, and you must edit the file (your-local-hg-root)/.hg/hgrc (note, this is NOT your ~/.hgrc) to add this line (replacing email@host with your username at mozilla): | |||
[paths] | |||
default = http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/ab-CD | |||
default-push = ssh://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/ab-CD | |||
You'll need to tell ssh which account to use for your pushes, too, by editing ~/.ssh/config and adding the lines | |||
Host hg.mozilla.org | |||
User user@host.domain | |||
user@domain is your account, with a real @ instead of the % that you used for CVS. Afterwards you can push your work to the repository (and check the result on the dashboard) | |||
hg push | |||
[end] | |||
== Steps to update your locale when en-US changes == | |||
It's simple to update your translation. First of all you need to know if the en-US locale has changed. This is soooo easy to check. Visit the [http://hg.frenchmozilla.fr/ en-US repository] and add it to your favourite RSS reader. If there is a update in the feed, it means that there is a update in the en-US files. And now, you need to update your local en-US files. Open a terminal and type: | |||
update-repo-hg.sh | |||
Wait until the end. That's it! You have the latest en-US changes in your own computer. | |||
Now, open Mozilla Translator with the command we use in the above step: | |||
run-mt.sh [product] [version] | |||
Maybe, | |||
run-mt.sh firefox 3.1 | |||
When MT opens, click on File > Update product. A new window containing all the new strings will be shown. Translate it, save the Glossary (use the menu File, do you remember?) and Export CVS translation in the Export menu. | |||
Now, open a new terminal and go to your translation's folder: | |||
cd ~/[product][version]/[locale] | |||
Like that: | |||
cd ~/firefox31/es-ES | |||
See what are you going to update with | |||
hg diff | |||
If it's all correct, type: | |||
hg commit -m "Some weird message explaining the change" | |||
And, please, NOT FORGET TO DO THIS: | |||
hg push | |||
Done, your updated translation should be commited, and you can check this on: http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/[locale] , changing your [locale] obviously. | |||
Happy localization! | |||
