*Should have informed l10n of project much earlier | *Should have informed l10n of project much earlier | ||
*Content should have been finalized earlier to give l10n members more time to localize | *Content should have been finalized earlier to give l10n members more time to localize | ||
*Some of the reference content was factually incorrect (number of elephants for 1 billion kg) | |||
*final content was available 24h before the launch which turned localization into a rush for localizers and the l10n team | |||
*pages were cached by netscaler causing locale detection code to not be executed, l10n had to modify the code during the week end to send the right http headers bypassing server caching (action item: document this trap into web-l10n documentation) | |||
*not enough time to localize all graphics used, we had to limit ourselves to the main banner | |||
*had to rely on localizers to provide localized banners for Persian/Arabic/Telugu, their scripting specificity would have required a web designer to do the banners and make them look good but we had no time for that. | |||
*site was launched on a Friday night and l10n had to fix the site bugs (not only l10n bugs but also webdev) during the weekend before 3.5.2 and 3.0.13 | |||
*no production tag with a cron job was set in time so as to be able to publish languages one by one and quickly resolve bugs | |||
