Translate.org.za Development Blog

Since Mozilla added the ability to expose language packs on their download page, we’ve decided to get all of our languages there.

For now these are all in the sandbox, which means they are in testing and need review.  Please review them, but be aware of the following known issues:

1. Not everything is translated: these are simply migrations of Firefox 1.5 translations to 2.0 so unfortunately these things  are not all translated.
2. Setting dialogue is mostly untranslated: Firefox 2.0 saw a major revamp of that interface, see point 1.
3. All HTML errors are in English: same as above

We would appreciate your help in fixing any of these errors or course.  If you are a professional translator, language student, passionate about your language then you can use our web translation tool to help us add the missing entries or correct any mistakes.

For your download pleasure here are all the language packs:

• Afrikaans
• English (South African)
• Ndebele
• Northern Sotho
• Southern Sotho
• Swati
• Tsonga
• Tswana
• Venda
• Xhosa
• Zulu

The South African English spell checker for Firefox and Thunderbird is now officialy reviewed and available for download.

Many thanks to all those who tested it.  Friedel picked up a showstopper right at the beginning, phew.  We’re getting a few thousand downloads a week so somebody likes what we’ve done.
