That sounds like a great plan Bahareh! Hope we can progress and improve
Persian localisation soon.
Thanks,

Yes, فایرفاکس اواس was used by me. Because i think although Firefox OS means سیستم عامل فایرفاکس but, the Firefox OS is a proper noun.
As well as Windows means پنحره‌ها but translated ویندوز not پنجره ها
Specially Mac OS X means سیستم عامل ایکس مک but translated usually to مک اواس because.
Also Firefox means روباه آتشین but translated to فایرفاکس
Also Please attend to common usage, for example in all of persian websites using فایرفاکس اواس or Firefox OS.
Arash says in his Twitter to Kazem Ebrahimi, its better to don't translate the specific words. Maybe this is correct.
Anyway, I think we must make unique and united glossary, for having good output. This glossary must be based on common words in the web and people usage, not Frahangestan, because if End users won't use our translation if the words are unknown for them.
What is your opinion?

Why we don't use Terminology in locomotion?
Sara, please add terminology to Persian language in locamotion.
Terminology is best way for having a standard glossary.
Also we can have a spreadsheet file for this standard in side of Mozilla's Terminology.
What is problem of Terminology?
Mrs Esfahbod says something about problems of Terminology, but i couldn't understand.

I think بازارچه is better meaning for Marketplace
بازارچه فایرفاکس is better than فروشگاه فایرفاکس
فروشگاه means shop
بازار means market
As result marketplace means بازارچه!
