官方的信件

Dear L10n members,

Thank you for all of your work in localizing Firefox in time for the 1.0 launch. We already have more than 20 localizations checked into CVS, so it looks like we will be able to have the first ever simultaneous release of dozens of official localizations of Firefox 1.0, on November 9. This is very exciting and will add a lot to the buzz about Firefox.

Everyone at mozilla.org appreciates your help, especially given that they have asked you to give up some of the flexibility you have traditionally employed. Everyone at the Foundation understand how important the L10n community is, and wants to work to continue to improve communication with us. There are some promising ideas under consideration, including plans by Tristan and Peter to offer "community.mozilla-europe.org", with blogs, forums and other tools for all localization projects.

One of the projects the Foundation is working on is a start page for Firefox. As you know, Firefox doesn't currently have a start page. The Foundation is working on a simple but elegant start page that can be localized. They're not ready to publicly show what that page will look like just yet, but we do have a simple test version, which you can view at http://www.mozilla.org/start-test/ . Also, you WILL have a chance to view the final startpage for your localization and you WILL have the opportunity to OK or refuse that startpage before it goes live.

Here's how this affects YOU: we need to have translated startpage-related content for ALL official localizations of Firefox 1.0 that will be released simultaneously to the en-US edition. Below are instructions for how to translate the startpage-related content. We have tried to keep this content as simple as possible and we do apologize for not being able to give more notice for this. Also, we apologize, but if your team decides to not translate this content, or is unable to do so by Sunday, November 7, then we will not be able to release your localization as an official, simultaneously released localization. This is because our build system will automatically include the official start page, so we will be unable to use an alternate startpage for the 1.0 launch (but we will try to have this capability in the future).

Thanks for your help with this! Let's get ready for a great Firefox 1.0 launch.

Robert Kaiser, on behalf of the L10n staff and the mozilla.org team that's working on the startpage

Affected content

The following pages need to be available for each official localization:

• Start-page snippets. See http://www.mozilla.org/start-test/
• Help & Add-ons (simplified Firefox Central page). See http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/central-lite.html
• About Mozilla (new page describing Mozilla, Firefox, Mozilla Europe, localization teams): See below.
• Get Involved: See below.
• Link to appropriate version of Mozilla Store.

URL scheme and hosting:

Where using localization URLs, I'm using FR as the sample localization code - this is to be modified per localization of course.

• Startpage: hosted on Mozilla.org. Check in and manage using Mozilla CVS:
  • www.mozilla.org/ ???
    • [I'm still trying to figure out where exactly we have to put them, expact a word on that in this thread]
• Start-related pages: hosted on Mozilla-europe.org. Check in and manage using Mozilla-Europe content management system:
  • new content, other than the snippets, will be hosted at http://www.mozilla-europe.org/fr/products/firefox/start/
• Links off the starpage:
  • Help & Add-ons: link to http://www.mozilla-europe.org/fr/products/firefox/start/central.html
    • About Mozilla: link to http://www.mozilla-europe.org/fr/products/firefox/start/about.html
      • CDs & Merchandise: link to store.mozilla.org
        • German site links to German store URL
        • French site links to French store URL
        • Japanese site links to Japanese store URL
        • Other European localizations link to English-UK store URL
        • Other localizations link to store.mozilla.org (English-US store URL)
      • Get Involved:
        • Localizations for which there is a Mozilla-europe.org translated sites link to the existing translted Mozilla-europe.org "Get Involved" page
        • Localizations for which there is no Mozilla-europe.org translated site link to http://www.mozilla-europe.org/fr/products/firefox/start/get-involved.html
• Look and feel: All start pages, except US-English and Japanese, should be hosted on Mozilla-europe.org and will be automatically wrapped in an updated template that will be consistent with the Mozilla.org look and feel.
• Non-Europe localizations: Mozilla-europe has kindly agreed to host to host the start-page related pages for all localizations, not just the European ones. We are planning to activate a domain name such as Mozilla-world.org that can be used to point to the non-Europe localizations.

Translating start-page snippets:

• Sample startpage snippets are at http://www.mozilla.org/start-test/
• The promotional lines should be translated. We request that localization teams start off by translating the English snippets provided, but localization teams may create additional promotion lines to highlight location-specific issues, or remove promo lines that don't make sense for a specific localization.
• The links at the bottom of the page should be translated and link to the appropriate pages (see above)
• Please note: please respect the file naming conventions for the snippets folders, especially the title.txt file (that file name should not be translated)
• Please validate snippets at w3c.org before submitting them
• Localizations should submit at least one startpage snippet, and no more than 12 snippets. Snippets will be rotated.
• Start-page snippets will be updated (pushed to production) every two hours.

About Mozilla pages

Mozilla Firefox is the innovative new open source web browser that everyone is talking about. Firefox is created by the Mozilla project, a world-wide, non-profit, open source effort that includes thousands of volunteers. The mission of the Mozilla project is to preserve choice and innovation on the Internet. Organizational support for the Mozilla project is provided by the Mozilla Foundation (in the United States), Mozilla Europe, and Mozilla Japan.

  [for European localizations:]Mozilla Europe is a non-profit organization
  based in Paris that works on the following items:
  * Join forces with local, regional and national Mozilla communities
    in order to promote Mozilla and its derivative products at a
    Europe-wide level;
  * Encourage independent developers, universities, companies and
    administrations to contribute to the Mozilla project, either by
    producing source code or by funding the project;
  * Increase usage of the Mozilla browser and its by-products by offering
    the services that may be needed in order to deploy the products.

  [localization blurb:]The French edition of Mozilla Firefox was created
  by Mozilla-fr, the French localization team.  Mozilla-fr is a group
  of volunteers who have localized Firefox for French users.
