Hi,
Does anyone know how to localize Firefox in FC3?
Is it possible to create localized RPMs? Would it be possible to make them install by default?
I'm interested to know how do you do it for your languages, thanks!
Regards!
/Josep
P.S.: There's a bug #139290 related.
Hello Josep,
If you want to translate Firefox, as I know, this is the wrong project. The FC-translation-project only translates parts developed by the fedora community.
As Firefox is a product of the Mozilla Foundation you shall ask there for help.
Please correct me if this is wrong.
Greetings

Sorry, I didn't explain what I meant very well :(
There are translations for Firefox (and mozilla) already done. What I meant was how to include the localizations by default in FC, because as of FC3 they are not (correcte me if I'm wrong). The browser is 50% of the desktop, and if it is not translated, we don't have a very good localization support, and that's the first thing users will see.
I know it is possible to get a localized firefox. What I did was to install the "locale-switch extension" from: http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/switch-locales/ and then my locale extension from: http://ftp.eu.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/linux-i686/xp...
But that's only user-wise. I'd like a firefox-i18n-<locale>.rpm RPM which would install the desired language for the whole system, and that the language would be selected upon user locale preferences.
I wonder if some translation team has done something similar for their locale, because I'd like to have the same for mine. I'm not knowledgeable in building RPMs, so I don't know if such a thing is possible or not (I hope it is! :).

From the bug report, the language of interest is Norwegian Bokmal, which
is full translated and exists an XPI for Firefox 1.0 final. In addition, from mozilla.org there is a package for the same language, meaning that the Norwegian Bokmal version builds cleanly.
I know it is possible to get a localized firefox. What I did was to install the "locale-switch extension" from: http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/switch-locales/ and then my locale extension from: http://ftp.eu.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/linux-i686/xp...

Clarifying this issue, your question is one of integration of Firefox into the OS and specifically to get the LANG=xx_YY parameter to apply for the browser as well to pick the corresponding language XPI.
Ideally, there should be RPMs for each XPI file and while installing Fedora, you install automatically the XPIs for the languages you specify in the beginning. Then, based on the session setting for the language, the corresponding language XPI is activated while it is possible to override through a customisation (like the extension you mention here).
I am not sure how is the state in FC3 :( Anyone?

Yes I have wondered about this also. IIRC on Mandrake all localisation of certainly Mozilla are installed when you install the Mozilla browser. That does not seem to be the case on Fedora. I guess then based on your locale environment variable settings it determines what to use on the interface as Mozilla has a -UILocale option.
Here are some instructions for building a language installer RPM. This has not been extensively tested, in fact it may not even work :)

Its basically the same process as mozilla and slightly "odd" compared to po files. See the firefox/mozilla site. There are also tools for turning mozilla translations to/from po so tools like poedit are happy.

Right now Welsh firefox is "out of tree". I keep annoying Blizzard about it however 8)

All of ours are also - until Mozilla works out exactly how they and their lawyers would like the process to work. But thats for another list.
