NSID day 13 (day 43 for me, no questions please).
At the MAOW in Madrid where Paul Rouget (XUL hacker, yahooo!!) and Pascal gave us a excellent presentation about XUL and how to hack extensions.
First project: continue a Tuenti extension (Tuenti is the most popular social network in Spain, more than Facebook or MySpace).
Thanks Paul!
The new beta in the Firefox 3.1 development cycle has been published.
New features are:
Check it our while it’s hot! Obviously, it’s available in es-ES and es-AR!
Hi all!
This weekend there is a meeting in Sevilla, Spain about blogging, bloggers and Internet in general. It is called EBE (Evento Blog España) and around 900 people will come to Sevilla to participate on that.
Nukeador, Dukebody and me, all members of Mozilla-Hispano community and Proyecto NAVE, have been invited to stay there, maybe not for our blogs (who knows this blog?) but sure for our implication on the open Web and open standars.
It is a unique opportunity to met a lot of known people of the Spanish Blogosphere and talk with them about Mozilla, and how we can help them to use Firefox, Thunderbird and take a lot of feedback to improve our market-share in Spain.
As Choffman told to Nukeador, we are going to play some games to spread the word of Firefox and Mozilla and share our knowledge about Mozilla and its products as well as take a lot of impressions.
And maybe we can steal some souls to help us in our projects 
Wish us good luck 
First of all, I use Mercurial because of the change of many Mozilla products to this VCS. But I think that for localizers is enought to have CVS. Why? Because usually we are one or two different people with CVS access and more usually localizers only touch a part of his l10n. For example, in the es-ES team we are two members with access to Mozilla’s repository: Ricardo and me.

If yesterday I wrote a blog post about how to localize Fennec M4, today I read on the Mark Finkle blog that there is a new milestone in the Fennec development, the M6 (0.6). This is a pre pre pre pre alpha release, so use carefully.
I think I will try this myself in less than 2 weeks…

On the Summit 2008, csejersen and mic presented a conference about l10n Fennec (the new Firefox for mobile).
So, this is an interesting blog post about that.
Also, congrats to gandalf (from MoCo, and Aviary.pl member), you are a new l10n-driver!

aaronlev has written a long and full of content article about this last Summit.
Nukeador, John Lilly and me
Nice!

Well, since I saw a post of sethb about translating and localizing Firefox, I’m trying to do some post about my experience with that case, but with exams, some work and more things, I will post this today
My experience (it’s a person inside of me) says me that it he/she/it hasn’t worked too much… I began with a existing Firefox 2 translation (I don’t remember if it was only a 2.0.0.x translation or a 2.+ translation (on the trunk)), but it was easy to continue. Ricardo Palomares (owner of the es-ES team, and admin of www.proyectonave.es, and translator of Sunbird, and Thunderbird…) helped me with my environment, and it was really really easy to continue his job.
I use Mozilla Translator. Why? It’s simple, easy and has a good UI to manage all things I need, and, of course, because last translator of Firefox es-ES used it.
We use some bash scripts to do the work: one for checking out en-US files (or update), another with my CVS account to check out es-ES files and another to open MT with appropriate settings.
Once it’s opened, press Ctrl+U and you will see new strings to be translated, or modified, or something… Finish the translation and… Export to CVS!! Check in your changes and… that’s it!! You will have a nice build in a few minutes
And that works.
I see people complain about MT and a little problems with that, but if you set a good enviroment and check all things, you will have a nice tool (mmmm, maybe a wiki page?? [wait, writing down on my hand], oook).
The thing is: if you work along the timeline, you will have a nice and near-0-errors final build in your own language. Obviously, you have to translate, but always localize, so, it might be difficult to find a search engine for your region, or a dictionary, or ebay in your language… And protocols-handler too!! (what a headache!!). We decided to keep the same newsfeed (20minutos.es), a free and Creative Commons diary daily, so less things to think about.
The next thing is fix some bad translated strings and check in in the “trunk”.
Next-next thing: mozilla-central!! (cvs, bazar, svn, hg!!!)
Esta es la traducción libre de un artículo escrito por Tristan Nitot, presidente de Mozilla Europe, posteado en su blog hace unos días:
Cada vez estamos más cerca del lanzamiento de Firefox 3 (en Junio), y a menudo la gente me pregunta por qué deberían cambiar su navegador actual, predefinido con su sistema operativo. La respuesta corta es que su viejo navegador está obsoleto, y puedo decir esto genuinamente. Pero esto deja muy poco espacio para la gente que realmente quiere saber cuáles son los beneficios actuales de usar Firefox 3. Por eso, he escrito la siguiente lista:
He intentado lidiar con los términos de código abierto / gratis / libre, pero se ha intentado ser lo más conciso posible, pero es difícil decir en pocas palabras los grandes beneficios que recibirán los usuarios al usar este software.
