Localization of the site depends on several factors: | |||
1/ possibility to communicate to localizers via the webdashboard, mozillamessaging is now a separate project there so no problem | |||
2/ locale detection and general locale support on mozillamessaging, we have added the minimum requirements for that with the 2.0.0.21 release and the move of the localized start pages from mozilla.com to mozillamessaging, minor releases now happen on mozillamessaging for locales | |||
3/ simplified templates (header/footer) for locales, to be done but shouldn't take me much time, a day to make and test them | |||
4/ creation of TB3 content for localizers, this is highly dependent on the creation of en-US content that will be used as a basis for translation, essentially: | |||
- new start page | |||
- landing page for all locales that serves as a home page as we do on mozilla.com | |||
- minimum set of pages (essentially features pages) for top locales which will have a more complete set of pages | |||
5/ creation of a simplified landing sub page on mozilla-europe to also propose downloads there | |||
6/ some administrative work as I have to open bugs for all localizers to give them access to mozillamessaging repo | |||
7/ QA | |||
For Thunderbird 3, we need final QAed en-US content to start localization. We will use French as a test locale, it will be done before others so as to identify potential localization or technical problems with the site. | |||
Given that TB3 is likely to have quite a lot of locales, localization is to be limited to: | |||
- start page: all locales | |||
- landing page: all locales | |||
- product sub-pages: on a per locale basis depending on the amount of work they represent (localized graphics? amount of text, screenshots...) | |||
- press release: same as sub-pages | |||
- release notes | |||
This means we have about 8 weeks to have the site ready in 50+ locales and in good shape for Thunderbird 3 (that includes translation, some webev work, QA...). | |||
