One of the big advantages of Remora is support for localization. Generally, localizations will only be accepted from people who are already on a language team which generally starts here.

Steps to localizing AMO in a new language

This is a comprehensive list of steps to completely localize Remora's interface from English into another language.

• Search Bugzilla for the words "Remora Localization (xx)" where xx is your locale code.
  • If a bug appears for your locale, then someone is already working on it. This will be a case by case basis depending on how far along the translation is, but if the bug isn't resolved, I'd suggest commenting in the bug and offering to help there.

• Assuming a bug doesn't exist, create a new bug with a Summary of "Remora Localization (xx)" (replace xx with your locale) and a description announcing your intention to localize Remora for that locale.

• Translate the main english gettext file
  • If you're not sure what the Plural-Forms are for your language, mention this in the bug and we can help
  • Attach the completed document to your bug

• Translate the specialized pages except for privacy.thtml
  • We can't accept translations of privacy.thtml at this time
  • Attach each of the translated files separately to your bug

• Translate the strings for the flowchart
  • We'll create the image for you, just attach the translated strings to your bug

• Translate the initial set of categories and add-on types
  • This can just be a plain text file, and please attach it to your bug

• When this is all complete, please post a comment in your bug asking for all updates to be pushed to the staging site for review.
