Spanish localizer, Guillermo López (IRC nick: willyaranda), pinged me this morning on IRC, pointing me to a post he wrote about his experience localizing Firefox 3.

Abdulkadir Topal is the lead localizer for Mozilla in German.  As many of you know, Germany is a country where Firefox has some of its highest marketshare.  (The XiTi monitor study from March, 2008 claims that the marketshare is at 35%.)  It’s probably not too far of a stretch to say this, but our success [...]

Last month, Mozilla approved a grant to the software localization organization Translate.org.za (Translate) to help improve their Translate Toolkit.  We did this because Mozilla and Translate’s missions are very well aligned, as both organizations are motivated by promoting openness and opportunity on the Internet.  Because so many Mozilla (and FOSS) localizers use Translate’s software, we [...]

In my opinion, one of the coolest features of Firefox 3 is full page zoom.  From the View menu and via keyboard shortcuts, the new zooming feature lets you zoom in and out of entire pages, scaling the [...]

Ankit Patel is the lead localizer for Firefox and Thunderbird in his native language of Gujarati.  Last year, when Chofmann and I went to India, Ankit was instrumental in helping me set up a productive visit for us.  In his post, he writes about what it took for him to localize Firefox and Thunderbird.
