Localization
Internationalization/localization are "means of adapting computer software to different languages and regional differences. Internationalization is the process of designing a software application so that it can be adapted to various languages and regions without engineering changes. Localization is the process of adapting software for a specific region or language by adding locale-specific components and translating text."
Mozilla community build its softwares in English since the beginning. As an open-source organization, it's possible for everyone to localize it in its own language. At this day for exemple, 60+ different languages are available for Firefox !
Many parts of the softwares can be translated:
- menus
- dialogue boxes
- labels
- other settings such
- font
- character encodings
- dictionaries
- default search engine
- ...
But it is a long process and any help is welcome.
