Summary: We already use Pootle very successfully to localise Firefox in African and a growing number of Asian languages. It's working because the complexity is hidden from communities.
In this session we plan to teach teams about the features of Pootle that can benefit their communities. But more then that we plan to use this session to actually perform a translation sprint for b2g. For teams that are already translating b2g, this will be an opportunity to see how Pootle can help you. For those languages not localising b2g this is an opportunity to get started in translation.
We hope that at the end of the session we'll have screenshots and demonstration of some initial translations.
How your session furthers the MozCamp Goals:
- Community-based plans to increase usage in Asia - increasing usage through language
- Boot2Gecko contribution how-to workshop - using Pootle and localization as a platform for contribution to b2g
Expected Outcome or Deliverable:
- Attendees know how to localise on Pootle
- Demoable localisation based on their work in the sprint
Desired Audience Type or Skill-set:
- Localizers
- Non-English speakers with a passion to see local language Firefox
Equipment Needs (Video projector already included):
- Tables and chairs to allow comfortable sitting when translating
