Mozilla Firefox 3 development work starts

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

We’ve started migrating our translations for Mozilla Firefox 3. The first language migrated is Afrikaans which is still only at 68% translated, we hope to get to 100% relatively quickly. Our aim is to ensure that Afrikaans is part of the official release. Our other languages we will take one by one through the official process.

We would appreciate testing of these Afrikaans builds even with such low translation status as it will help identify problems early. All the development builds will be available from:

http://download.translate.org.za/dev/firefox/

You can identify your language from the language code. There are also language packs so you can install a certain language and add other language packs.

There are Mac, Windows and Linux builds.

Thunderbird 2.0.0.12 in Afrikaans

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Time to give the Afrikaans Thunderbird translation a spin as it is now an official Mozilla Thunderbird release. Thanks to all the hard work put in by Friedel and Samuel we made it into this release. There was much fixing of bugs to get the access keys correct and to fix some untranslated text.
