I've been out of Berlin for two weeks, first to MV for workweek, where we had three and a half days of meetings. Interesting stuff, but nothing to blog about yet. Then Mary Colvig, Chris Hofmann, Myk Melez, and I headed over to Bangalore for...
Thanks to reed and bug 353480, the Mozilla Localizations component on Bugzilla moved from "Client Support" over to the "Client Software" category, and is now available on the main enter_bug.cgi page. This should make it much easier for...
I posted to mozilla.dev.l10n about how we're going to ship localizations for Firefox 3 Beta 1, aka M9. In a very executive summary, opt in -- to do so, follow up on the post on m.d.l10n go green don't mess up search etc help testing Find the …
As I have been blogging before, I try to create a glossary for Firefox 2. I'm leaving out all the gory details, but it's been a hard fight between me trying to be clever and being dumb. I'm still not happy with the code that creates the data, but still …
I thought I share some statistics about our localizable strings. I'm currently trying to create a tool that would help localizers to find terms or phrases that show up in Firefox often. Roughly, an automated way to do glossaries. So, the basic...

We have a few new localization teams putting a whole lot of effort in getting their languages up and running. For those, the l10n server is creating language packs right now, and as always, they can use as many eyes as possible. The right welcome...
I have written about the incubator before, it's a tool that should help localizations newly in CVS to work towards release. It's based on buildbot, and I whacked it pretty hard recently. The result can be seen on the l10n server again. What's...
There are a few changes in our language support that came with Firefox 2.0.0.4. We have officially released Afrikaans and Belarusian. Congratulations to both teams. If you know someone that should or could use those versions and doesn't, please...
