Congratulations on all the hard work so far! The special projects on
Verbatim shine in pleasant green with some red here and there (mostly
Spark).
With the RC out in the wild, we'll still waiting for more feedback from
the tester community. This, coincidentally, gives us a couple of more
dayes to work on the localizations!
The new due dates are:
- March 21st for desktop,
- March 24th for mobile (Spark).
This should hopefully give you enough time to finish, test and polish
your translations. Especially that I would like to share another piece
of good news with you: we now have working staging servers! :)
The translations are updated every 15 minutes.
Twitter Party (March 21st)
==========================
http://twittercollage.allizom.org/
(If things don't work there, try <http://dev.twitterparty.quodis.com/>,
which autoupdates the code more frequently.)
Please don't tweet from this page yet.
Facebook Badges (March 21st)
============================
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Firefox-4/130379370362344?sk=app_122300121174636
Please do not 'Like' this page. Also, you need to be using Facebook in
your locale to see the transaltions.
(Due to <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641998>, the page
shows in English right now. I figured out the problem and it should be
fixed soon.)
Glow (Download stats) (March 21st)
==================================
I need to verify if this server autoupdates. Click the sector chart
for some awesomeness!
Spark (mobile campaign) (March 24st)
====================================
https://spark.allizom.org/
https://spark.allizom.org/m
As the site is undergoing a security review right now, it's behind HTTP
auth. I'll send out the credentials in a separate email to eveyone who
opted it.
Use HTTPS. You can create a new account on the /m version. You can
also log in as batman/testpass to see more completed challenges. When
the game asks you who did you get the spark from, you can also specify
'batman'.
Since this is a social game and we're trying to keep a low profile for
now, please:
- do not use the Twitter and Facebook links,
- do not send emails to friends nor share the QR codes,
- do not check the newsletter and the updates checkboxes when
registering a new account.
Thanks for understanding!
As always, let me or Gandalf know if you have any questions or see
antyhing strange.
Happy testing!

… which is not long from now. Are the Firefox 4 Special projects done
now, or do we need to expect any more of these pages to localize? The
opening post said something about „Mark Up“ and „Web Collections“ and
the timeline [1] says something about „Webify Me“.
Unless these pages are ready for localization by the next few days, I
don’t think we will be able to do finish these before the Fx 4 release.
It’s not that I’m asking for more work, I’m asking out of couriosity. ;-)
Regards
Michael
This is all for now :) No surprises until the launch.
MarkUp and Webify Me (the new name for Web Collections) will be
announced later, after the launch of Firefox 4.
Also, that reminds me: I need to update the timeline.

That’s a relief. ;-) Thanks for the update.
One more thing though: Would it be possible to generate statistics for
these special projects? I’d like to know if they are actually
used/viewed in German, or if the translation was more like a waste of time.
Regards
Michael
We found out that two strings were hardcoded and that we could use
custom_css trick for CSS adjustments per locale.
We added those and I updated your locales so you have three new strings
to play with.
Apologies for the hassle!
Cheers,

Mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org)
Also, the stage works now!
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Firefox-4/130379370362344?sk=app_122300121174636
You can adjust the custom-css string so that the layout works for you
locale. Ping us if you need any help with this!
Happy tweaking!
is this stage server updated automatically? how often?
Yes, every 15 minutes.
Just out of curiosity: where do the local city/town names come from?
The names for Basque towns from the Spanish territories are displayed in
Spanish, and it looks quite odd, since official names are Basque.
As far as I see the same thing doesn't happen for Catalan names, which
are displayed in Catalan, just as they should.
I guess they're coming from some external service, but just asking...
Thanks,
Julen.
Same issue in Irish. I could provide a big PO file with all the
"deanglicizations" of Irish town names if it would be possible to work
that into the system in the same way that the countries, etc.
are localized.

* The continent names come from the messages.po you guys provided
* The country names come from mozilla.com via
http://svn.mozilla.org/libs/product-details/json/regions/
* The region names come from maxmind http://www.maxmind.com/app/fips10_4
* The city names come from maxmind (I think)
When this stuff comes to my Python process I see country codes (US,
FR, etc.), region codes (00-99), and full city names. The city names
you see on the site are what I get from the backend log processors.
MaxMind is the service that translates IP addresses into
latitude/longitude and gives the country/region/city info.
If you guys want to localize city names, the easiest way is to give me
a JSON file mapping english name to local name. We're not set up for
this right now but I think I can make it happen.
Here's an example en_US/cities.json
{"San Francisco": "SF",
"New York": "Big Apple"}
The format is {"key": "value"}, with the key and value inside quotes
and the whole thing wrapped in curly braces.
I'm going to be away this weekend but if I find any cities.json in my
inbox I'll hook them up on Monday. I don't know the list of all city
names, and there will probably be more that we haven't translated as
more locations download Fx4.
Here is the current data source:
http://glow.allizom.org/data/json/2011/03/19/01/20/arc.json. It
updates every minute and the timestamp is in UTC.

Awesome Jeff, thanks. This is why I love Mozilla.
I'll send you the JSON file later today.
Kevin
Russia will find its way back into Europe when the database resets
tonight before the fx4 launch.
I realized that svn is a far better place for these than my inbox, so
stas and I committed what I have so far.
For example, ga_IE has cities.json and regions.json at the top level
here: http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/l10n-misc/trunk/glow/locale/ga_IE/.
If anyone else adds files to svn I'll pick them up next time I run the
script to generate all the l10n.
Thanks everyone!

Hello Jeff,
a bit late, but I added cities.json and regions.json for ca locale.
http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/l10n-misc/trunk/glow/locale/ca/
Thanks,
