I’ve spent half of last week in Amsterdam joining the “Open Translation Tools 2009” unconference. It was a pretty interesting and diverse crowd to be with, and by far not as tool-author-only as it would sound like. Folks coming spread all over from sex-worker activists over global voices to translate.org.za to folks from the “professional [...]

Our brave build folks have cut the tags on Firefox 3.5 RC 1, and I figured I give a little feedback on that from the l10n side. As RC 1 was based on new strings, we required each localization to sign-off on the status of their localization to be ready for release. We’re still doing [...]

I’ve blogged previously on how to set up a staging environment to test the l10n build system, but I didn’t go into any detail on how to actually do builds in that set up. That shall be fixed. I’m picking you up at the point where twistd get-pushes -n -t 1 -s l10n_site.settings is running [...]

They always were considerably better than each localizer doing their build at home on whatever (virus-infected) hardware they found, with help from other community members [...]

Things we might want to search for: Localized strings in a particular locale in all locales going into a particular app entity names in all of the above As with the rest of the dashboard, [...]

Building the infrastructure for our l10n builds is hard, mostly because it’s consisting of a ton of things that you don’t have control over. We’re building 3 and a half applications, Firefox, Thunderbird, Fennec, and Sunbird for calendar. Firefox is built on three versions, one of which is still coming from CVS. Thunderbird is one [...]
