RE: nsis installer l10n landed on trunk, branch coming shortly

[BID Wen ShaoHua]

Hi Axel,
It seems that the Simplified Chinese firefox win32 builds (1.8 branch) in the tinderbox has some problem.
It give some error message like:

iconv -f UTF-8 -t CP936 l10ngen/nlf.in > l10ngen/baseLocale.nlf
iconv: l10ngen/nlf.in: cannot convert
Error converting codepage to CP936 for l10ngen/nlf.in at /cygdrive/c/builds/tinderbox/Fx-Mozilla1.8-l10n/WINNT_5.2_Clobber/mozilla/toolkit/mozapps/installer/windows/nsis/preprocess-locale.pl line 184.

But I don't know what's wrong with the installer translation, Could you please have a look on it?

Thanks
Holy

Hi,

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340173 finally landed on
the trunk, so you can start localizing the installer. For those teams
that have good trunks, we'd be very thankful if you could get them in
working shape today. The builds won't turn green, because we still have
to get the repackaging up again, but that's much easier if Benjamin has
something to test with for
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339714.

The added files are the three properties files in
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/locales/en-US/installer/.
(We should really remove the other two.)

They're somewhat common properties files, but they require to be UTF-8
encoded. You'd need either one of the hacked MTs or a 0.9 translate
toolkit, AFAIK.

These files are here to stay, sorry for taking so long with getting this
right.

I'll follow up with a devmo page on this for folks that need more context.

If you want to test your localization, --enable-ui-locale=ab-CD as build
option should work already, any feedback on that is welcome.

Axel

This is only an issue for the two chinese localizations which actually
try to choose a different font, which was given in their native codepage.

I filed bug 343468 on the issue, which has a patch. Link to testbuild for
Holy is sent by mail.
