I've released a new version of compare-locales, and you should really update. The new version of compare-locales adds: support for more than one filter.py support for filter.py returning more than just bools, but "error", "report", or "ignore"....
I'll be presenting at FOSDEM on l20n, the infrastructure that we're hoping to move our localization efforts to. The talk will be in the Mozilla Developers room on Sunday, 13:15. The FOSDEM program might still give a Sunday morning time, that...
I came across the question on whether a particular piece of code was in a particular release, and if so, which. Say, you're going through old bugs like me and you want to know if something's fixed b2 or fixed b4. So you head over to hg annotate and then …
I've just run across an interesting suggestion for translating "Smiley" into English. Screenshot of it would be whereas the original (triple-licensed) translation suggestion is on l10n.mozilla.org/narro. Another interesting aspect of crowd...
Armen just blogged about this, and as it's constantly mentioned around l10n, I wanted to add a bit more detail to l10n-merge. l10n-merge is originally an idea by our Japanese localizer dynamis. The current implementation used in the builds is by...

As we're struggling with our string freezes for 1.9.2, I figured I'd put something up on planet for everyone to notice: String freezes are one only, and done with. No "I'll get that in the next milestone". First string freeze is the last. String...
Just a quick side note, I'm hacking on a DTD mode for Bespin. The code is pretty ughly still, but the output is getting OK. It already supports marking up errors, to a similar extent that they're found in compare-locales these days. Better...
I've uploaded a snapshot of a build in progress on my test display which gives a bit better insight on what's possible to show about a build based on the information that buildbot has, or a build database had. The important pieces here compared...
Our brave build folks have cut the tags on Firefox 3.5 RC 1, and I figured I give a little feedback on that from the l10n side. As RC 1 was based on new strings, we required each localization to sign-off on the status of their localization to be …
