  • Helpful Mozilla localization documentation

    March 5th, 2009 by seth bindernagel with 7 comments »

    Yesterday, I posted in the moz.dev.l10n newsgroup (our main mailing list for communication among localizers) a summary of information for localizers who want to learn about our process, start a new localization, or keep track of all that needs to be done to become an official localization.

    I’ve blogged about this in the past, but am posting a reminder because it’s valuable information.  Also, I heard from a few localizers when I was traveling that the process is still unclear and we need a good checklist of information for people to review as they become involved.

    Here is a checklist (probably more detailed than a simplified checklist because our process has multiple parts) we have so far:

    • Mozilla l10n main wiki page that serves as a starting point
    • How to get an official localization for Firefox
    • Localizing Mozilla web pages and web parts (needed for official status)
    • Web services (sometimes referred to as “productization”) (needed for official status)

    As you start and continue through the process, these four links will be particularly helpful.  If you are familiar with our process and would like to link to more documentation, please list it here.
