Hi,
For some locales there's a new batch of snippets to localize for Australis
launch. The deadline for this localization is April 25, 2014.
Like last time (January), we decided to use SVN to store snippets, the Web
dashboard to monitor progress, and Pontoon to localize them.
List of locales requested: bg, cs, da, de, el, es-ES, fr, hu, id, it, ja,
ko, nb-NO, nl, pl, pt-BR, ro, ru, sk, sl, sr, vi, zh-CN, zh-TW.
Number of snippets to localize: 27
Deadline: April 25, 2014
In the next minutes you'll see a warning in your dashboard about these
missing strings:
https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/webdashboard/
Next week we'll start filing individual bugs,in case localization hasn't
started yet.
If you already translated snippets in January, you can skip the rest of
this message ;-)
*USING PONTOON*
1. Permission to localize is automatically granted only to members of the
localization group on Mozillians, so join it:
https://mozillians.org/it/group/localization/
2. Log in to Pontoon with Persona using the same email address you use on
Mozillians:
https://pontoon.mozillalabs.com/en-US/
3. Once logged in, you should be able to select "snippets" from the list of
projects and click on your locale.
4. That will take you to the translation view with Firefox homepage and the
first snippet loaded. Hover and click to edit and press Enter to save.
5. To switch to another snippet, select it from the menu in the main
toolbar at the bottom of the screen (black).
6. When you're done, click your email address on the right side of the
toolbar, select Commit to SVN and provide your SVN email and password.
*FALLBACKS*
If you don't want to use Pontoon and you have SVN access, you can clone and
work directly on the repository:
https://svn.mozilla.org/projects/l10n-misc/trunk/snippets/LOCALE
If you don't have a SVN account and prefer to use a bug as before, ping
:flod (or ask here) and we'll file a bug for your locale.
But again, we encourage you to give Pontoon a chance and tell us how to
improve it :-)
*OTHER LOCALES*
The engagement team usually requests a specific set of locales for this
project, sometimes with different snippets for different groups of locales.
As usual, your webdashboard is fundamental to know if there's work to do,
so please keep an eye on it or, even better, subscribe to the RSS feed.
If you have any questions or concerns,ask on the mailing list or on IRC
