Revision as of 15:53, 7 October 2007 by Rueen (talk | contribs) (Project Description)

Project Name

automated localization tool - This tool should allow that given a locale and a set of changes (unknown how) gives a build of the same language but different region (e.g. en-IN from en-GB)

Project Description

  • Learn python
  • Understand the scripts from the test l10n tools
  • Understand the l10n build system
  • Reproduce en-IN from en-GB
  • Determine what our Python based system will "do" in 0.1 release

Tool's 0.1 Release Functionality & Features

  • Should be able to accept a localization file
  • Should be able to accept a Firefox build (eg; en-GB or en-US)
  • Store's file's data locally (need to use IO if .txt file (or) XML Parser if it's an .xml file). So this would taking the key/value pairs and storing them in a Dictionary (Dictionary is the equivalent of a Map in Java)

Project news

There are some common news from the collaborators that should be written here rather than splitting it between the collaborators:

  • Sep. 24, 2007 - We are going to have a call conference with Michal from Toronto office
  • Oct. 05, 2007 - Python will be our language of choice for this project which is a great opportunity to thoroughly learn it since it will be our first time using it. Determined some main tasks ahead of us before 0.1 release (tasks mentioned in Product Description).
