L20n presentation at FOSDEM 2010

Filed under: L10n,Mozilla — Tags: , , — Axel Hecht @ 4:26 am

I’ll be presenting at FOSDEM on l20n, the infrastructure that we’re hoping to move our localization efforts to. The talk will be in the Mozilla Developers room on Sunday, 13:15. The FOSDEM program might still give a Sunday morning time, that changed.

I’ll focus on what tools can do to help localizers to use the power that l20n brings, without making things totally obscure. I’ll start with a quick recap for those that are new to it, and then discuss the challenges that l20n brings, and how tools can help. I’ll also present first thoughts on how to communicate data describing languages between tools, using html5 and microdata.

See you in Brussels, not just for that talk, of course.

PS: I’ll be giving a lightning talk on the new l10n site, too.

  1. I hope some summary of what you talk about there will be available somewhere so I can see something of it as well ;-)

  2. Moving the talk to a time slot in the middle of the keysigning party has been really unfair!

  3. On which hour is your other talk? Because I’ll be leaving at around 15:30 in order to catch my plane on time.

  4. Hi, I saw your presentation at FOSDEM and I would like to know a bit more about l20n. What’s the status of it? (most pages on the wiki are at least 2 years old).
    Did you manage to get something with antlr? (I’m interested by a Java implementation of l20n so if you already have the antlr grammar I will not have to do it myself ;-))
    Thanks.
