Topic: Localizzazione Weave (cercasi volontari)

Hi everyone:

As we approach Mozilla's mobile browser (aka Fennec) 1.0 release, we have learned that the Mozilla Labs project, Weave <http://labs.mozilla.com/weave/>, will make a push for a localized release around the time of the mobile browser's general availability.

Outside of our Babelzilla community, many of you know that the l10n-drivers and Mozilla project does not have a *great* infrastructure for localizing extensions like Weave.  (Based on some early comments in a bug that I reference below, it's probably worth adding that AMO's collector add-on was completed almost entirely outside of Babelzilla.)

Since late last week, Axel and I have been working with the Weave team to come up with a manageable process for localizers, inside the Labs Hg repository, if localization of Weave is something we can provide by late September (likely date of availability, September 23).

Things we are asking and hoping to relay:

   1. Please OPT-IN to this email thread if you would like us to set up a repository for your locale

   * This is the bug that many have seen and where some have
     commented:  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=512491
   * Translations will be stored in the forthcoming repos and packaged
     together by the Weave team

   2. For an early indication of what needs to be done, the following directory in Hg contains most of the strings that we think we'll need to localize

   * *Please note: This directory is scary right now!    These files
     are being edited now by the Weave team to reduce the number of
     strings necessary for translation*
   * http://hg.mozilla.org/labs/weave/file/default/source/chrome/locale/en-US/
   * Very early and rough string count is somewhere around 200, which
     the Weave team is still reviewing and editing heavily, so it may
     be much lower

   3. Timeline: We hope to have string freeze by September 10, providing two long weekends for your work.  Localized Weave will be made available sometime around September 23.

We realize this is not a customary way in which our community has localized extensions in the past.  Apologies for that.  But, it seems to be the best way for the Weave team to manage localizations with all of us for their work going forward.  If you'd like, give us your remarks, with possible reference to your experience with working on localizing AMO's Collector add-on, and opt-in if you'd like to work on Weave.

Warm regards,

Seth

Aggiungo che si tratta di circa o poco meno di 200 stringhe.
Ciao, Giacomo.

Proprio nessuno?

Per fortuna hanno appena rimandato...

Perdonatemi l'intrusione, ma mi chiedevo una cosa...se una persona come me che non sa molto di codici e altre cose tecniche fa fatica a dare una mano in questi casi, non ci si potrebbe piuttosto appoggiare ad una piattaforma tipo https://launchpad.net/ ?
Per esempio è li che avviene il programma di traduzione di Miro, ed è decisamente più pratico e comunitario da usare...

...spero ovviamente di non aver scoperto l'acqua calda ^^

Sinceramente non ho idea di come funzioni launchpad, ma dubito abbia il supporto per i file properties e dtd (leggo "GNU GetText support", il che significa file .po, e a quel punto ci sarebbero soluzioni alternative anche a launchpad).

In realtà è meno complesso di quello che sembra: devi solo tradurre le stringhe usando un editor di testo compatibile con UTF-8 e mantenere eventuali variabili dall'originale

[iacchi]

Più simile a launchpad, c'è anche narro: https://l10n.mozilla.org/narro/narro_project_file_list.php?l=it&p=7&pf= dove forse potresti trovarti più "a casa"

Ho dato un'occhiata al bug, ma sinceramente non ho capito ora a che punto siamo.
