Firefox 3 and xulrunner 1.9 needs translations

[Milo Casagrande]

Translations haven't been updated for firefox 3 in hardy yet.

 1. reuse translations for .desktop file from firefox-2 package
 2. produce locale packages from launchpad.

Confirmed

[Salvatore Palma (palma-salvatore)]

Confirmed

[Andrea Colangelo (warp10)]

Confirming this bug.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

this is a final release blocker at least.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

same for xulrunner-1.9

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

same for midbrowser

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

we are working on getting translations from launchpad for hardy. pushing milestone ahead accordingly.

[jeroenl (jeroenl)]

Confirmed.

I tried to use the .xpi files (nl), like found here: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/3.0b4/linux-i686/xpi/ , but although they install, the language is not activated.

Using Firefox b4 under KDE3 (Kubuntu).

[Artem Popov (artfwo)]

xpi installation (ru) from the link provided by Jeroen works for me.

[Caroline Ford (secretlondon)]

As a related issue locale packages depend on firefox 2.

eg mozilla-firefox-locale-en-gb (2.0.0.7+1-0ubuntu3) depends on firefox 2. Language support installs the firefox-locale package and hence FF2.

[Tayroni Alves (tay-fisica)]

The pt-BR.xpi from

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/3.0b5/linux-i686/xpi/

works on firefox-3.0 here (Hardy and Firefox-3.0 package, version 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu1).

[Jorge (jorgesp)]

It can not install the
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/3.0b5/linux-i686/xpi/es-AR.xpi/
because it was an error,
but I installed the
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/3.0b5/linux-i686/xpi/es-ES.xpi/

Regards.

Jorge.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

According to Fabien, the necessary changes have already been made to the firefox-3.0 packages, and the only thing remaining is to have the translations available through Launchpad. Juggling tasks here accordingly.

[Carlos Perelló Marín (carlos)]

Launchpad already has translations for firefox and xulrunner for beta5 and tomorrow's language pack for Hardy will include them.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

keeping one task open to keep this issue on release blocker list.

[Máté Őry (orymate)]

I can't see any new language pack for hardy. When will l10n teams have time to check the po-based translation?

[Tayroni Alves (tay-fisica)]

After update of language-pack-gnome-pt-base, Firefox is in PT-PT but my system is in PT-BR.

[jeroenl (jeroenl)]

I just updated to the current language-pack-gnome-nl 1:8.04+20080415, but still no Dutch Firefox translation.

[David Planella (dpm)]

The bug seems to only be fixed for those languages with version 1:8.04+20080325ubuntu1 of the language-pack-gnome-xx-base package.

I commented it (comment #26) on bug 202301.

[Tayroni Alves (tay-fisica)]

sudo apt-cache show language-pack-gnome-pt-base
Package: language-pack-gnome-pt-base
Priority: optional
Section: translations
Installed-Size: 12680
Maintainer: Language pack maintainers <email address hidden>
Architecture: all
Version: 1:8.04+20080325ubuntu1

And my firefox-3.0 is still in pt-pt while my system is in pt-br. The bug is not fixed in that version (at least for me).

[Tayroni Alves (tay-fisica)]

After one more update, firefox is in pt-br. Thanks!

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

closing firefox task. this is done for firefox in hardy.

[Augusto Santos (mkhaos7)]

Are we still talking about Firefox 3?
I'm running Kubuntu (Kde3) in Pt-BR but my FF3b5 is still in english.
I've trhe mozilla-firefrox-locale-pt-br installed but to no vail (in fact, it didn't work on Feisty neither).

[Tayroni Alves (tay-fisica)]

To Antonio Augusto: I believe you need to install language-pack-gnome-pt-base.

On Ubuntu, language support for firefox is enabled by default at least for pt-br.

[Augusto Santos (mkhaos7)]

Tayroni, the installation of that package resolved my issue! Now FF is in pt-br.

IMHO, the installation of the mozilla-firefox-locale-XX packs should depends of language0pack-gnome-XX-base since they won't work otherwise...

[miguelquiros (mquiros)]

I do not know if it is the same issue discussed here. I used to have Firefox3beta running correctly in Spanish. After an update via update-manager, firefox has been updated to 3.0~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 and language-pack-es-base to 1:8.04+20080527.1. After that, firefox does not longer appear in Spanish and I can see that there are no files in /<email address hidden>. I think that in this directory there should be some files provided by the package language-pack-es-base responsible for the translation to Spanish. These files have vanished after the upgrade.

Does running

 sudo apt-get install --reinstall language-pack-es-base

help?

[miguelquiros (mquiros)]

Yes. I have reinstalled language-pack-es-base and firefox appears again in Spanish. What could be the problem? Packages updates in the wrong order?
Thanks for your help.

[Ricardo Pérez López (ricardo)]

Yes, the problem is in the installation order, but it must be fixed now (at
least in hardy-proposed).

[Ricardo Pérez López (ricardo)]

Mmm... miguelquiros is right. There's a problem in the installation of the language pack files. They aren't be updated in the right order, so the Firefox translation is lost. They must be installed in the right order (ensuring language-pack-es-base is installed at the very end) for get it work.

The Conflicts field in language-pack-es-base package is not working properly.
