House 2.0 firefox 3 thai localization sprint
Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!
Hello Human
This is the invited task to robot by @kengggg to involve in House 2.0 . Then this is my task to me to report this event that we work and not play Wii!!!.
The time of meeting between robot and the place owner was 12.00 a.m. but it had a rainy so I need to go earlier then my expect. When I arrived, @kengggg was coming to get me and we go to the working place. The place owner had downloading the Firefox 3.0 pot-Translation to prepare to translate and we need to convert them into .PO. We have a little problem on OS X because the PO edit tool didn’t work properly and we had no choice to get another solution so we used the Text Edit is the PO edit application.
We waited for a while then our brother rerngrit was coming and got the suggestion of the PO editing tools from him. @phisite and @bact’ and theniw was coming in order later. We all agree to start with the preferences translation of Firefox 3.0. The translated word will be in the msgid box as picture below
and translated this word to msgstr with the rule of Firefox localization
We used the below English - Thai dictionary of glossary references.
references
Thai L10n (have a suggestion of English to Thailand word and formatting example: string format standard mening and etc.)
Thai L10nlook in Epiphany Web Browser to compare the translation. That will make us to use the same Thai word of the English word Epiphany Web Browser
OSS Glossary (Can add more word ) OSS Glossary
MS Terminology Translation (download CSV) - have Vista, Office 2007 wording




During the translation we have @poakpong came and take the drink for us and @ipats came to help us after @poagponk, @pittaya came the last one to this event.
We decided to divide the content into the task by person and who’s going to translate in which file will post the status of translation into Google Doc , this will avoid the same translation in the same content. We wrote down the word that have to use usually in the Firefox into whiteboard and that will be the agreement to use in same way.
In around 23.00 Duocore.tv was coming to see us and did they VDO clip in the new episode at House 2.0 place. Duocore.tv have Kla, Oil and Art(bact’) as the presenter. We choose @kengggg and @ipats as our representative to promote this event. Then duocore.tv came to interview us in the working room with theinw as a interviewer to all working robots.




We had a little problem with the English to Thai word in some word then we use skype to broadcast between @markpeak and @pruet to get the suggestion from both expert. So we get the the summary and the work was finish in 3 a.m. in the next day. Every people go to rest for the second day.




See you in 2nd day good bye human.
