Good Day All.

I'm Vuyisile, a Rep from Zimbabwe. I'm thinking of starting the above named localisation effort for thhe Firefox browser. I've set up my environment according to the wiki and a fellow contributor that i'm working with has done the same.

I'd like to know where to go from here.

Thanks

Vuyisile

Hi Vuyisile,

I'm glad to hear you're interested in l10n! Have you selected the tool
that you'd like to use to perform the localization? If not, that would
be the next step. The list of available tools and workflow options can
be found at:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Localization_Quick_Start_Guide/Translation_phase

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff
we're going to go with the option that most people seem to be using: narro.
Here are our details

Usernames:

1) terrameijar
2) aurorabelle

Language: Ndebele (Zimbabwe)

Thanks,

Vuyisile

Hi again.

I've registered the above usernames and when i log in i get the following error:

"The language is not active. Please ask the administrator to activate or check your URL if this is not the language you wanted."

How can this be fixed?

We need a new locale (Ndebele-ZW) to be created so we may start l10ning. :)
Please help.

Unfortunately Narro is not in active development, I suggest you to look at Pootle (http://pootle.locamotion.org/) platform instead. Many of the Bantu languages are being actively translated on Pootle server.

Please take moment to add your team information in the Ndebele L10N team page.https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Teams:nr

Thanks Arky, let me get started on this right away. I'll be sure to ask as many questions as I can to make this work.

Hi Arky
According to wikipedia, the locale code for Ndebele(Zimbabwe) is nd or nde. The one you used for our team page is nr, that is for Southern Ndebele(totally different).

Can I go ahead and create a team page with the right locale code?

Hi Vuyisile,

We have setup a new locale on Pootle. Register and give me your
username. It would be good to start working on user1 folder.
