Hi Sangeetha

Thanks for your email. I have had some involvement in Firefox
localization, but am not currently involved.
In order to get involved in Firefox localization, you should first
understand a few things about the free software community.
It is best not to contact individual participants directly, but rather
to use the mailing lists and/or newsgroups that a project provides.
So your best strategy to follow is to start by joining the Mozilla
Localization mailing list - following the link at the top of
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/l10n/
All the documentation is located here:
http://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Home_Page
Start there, read the instructions for starting a localization, and then
try and report in detail what problems you are having on the mailing
list. There is also an IRC channel which can be helpful

Hope this helps you
David

Sangeetha,

please stop spamming people. Randomly mailing people is not the best way
to enter a community.

There are a bunch of Indian languages in the queue, where my choice of
Indian languages is a bold assumption, as you didn't mention any kind of
language. Please take a look at
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Create_a_new_localization for more
information.
