*** Bug 71838 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Well, the bug is another, I suppose. Firefox 1.0 for Gentoo is NOT accepting language extensions!!! I mean, you can install it but you will always get Firefox in english! With 1.0PR on Gentoo this didn't happen! s/nl-NL/fr-FR/g I've got my firefox localized to nl-NL. You can use one of the following tricks: First trick, install localization by xpi and change general.useragent.locale = nl-NL in about:config Second trick, install nl-NL.jar in /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/chrome/ /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/chrome/installed-chrome.txt should be altered to refer to your new nl-NL.jar change general.useragent.locale as above. Third trick cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/l10n checkout -r AVIARY_1_0_20040515_BRANCH mozilla/browser/locales/nl-NL cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/l10n checkout -r AVIARY_1_0_20040515_BRANCH mozilla/toolkit/locales/nl-NL tar czf mozilla-locales-20041216.tar.gz mozilla mv mozilla-locales-20041216.tar.gz /usr/portage/distfiles edit mozilla-firefox ebuild, append mozilla-locales-20041216.tar.gz to unpack, add mozconfig_annotate '' --enable-ui-locale=nl-NL. emerge mozilla-firefox, don't forget to remove the old ~/.mozilla or create a new profile! Hello! I made my changes to the gnome menu permanent with this (after installing the de_DE.xpi). vi /usr/share/applications/mozillafirefox.desktop Changed Exec=/usr/bin/firefox %U to Exec=/usr/bin/firefox -contentLocale de-DE -UILocale de-DE %U Maybe this is what you want. Luck Sebastian What I want is not relevant : I have a correct level in english and I know how to install a XPI and correct my about:config. BTW, here FF 1.0 supports language extensions, no problem... My request is just for all those people not very fluent in english, not computer specialists. And I know a few who dare to use Gentoo ! The same bug could be reported for Mozilla the suite, Nvu, Sunbird, openoffice-bin, ... Localization, for many people is not only "a feature". It's a must have. And I myself have no time to spend to understand Python, Portage, etc... So I only can report. In french we say "il y a ceux qui font et ceux qui font chier". I do not know how to translate that, mais l What I want is not relevant : I have a correct level in english and I know how to install a XPI and correct my about:config.

I do not know how to translate that, mais là je fais chier, for sure... Sorry. The problem is that mozilla.org doesn't provide packaged locales downloads, so Gentoo has to package and distribute the locales themself (it's easy enough IMHO). I added LINGUAS support to 1.0.3 ebuild for de, nl and fr. You have to set LINGUAS="de_DE nl_NL fr_FR" to try it out. Of course you don't have to set all three of them. For creating the locales tarballs I used the relevant branchtag when checking them out from cvs. Like this (de example): cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/l10n export -r FIREFOX_1_0_2_RELEASE mozilla/browser/locales/de-DE cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/l10n export -r FIREFOX_1_0_2_RELEASE mozilla/toolkit/locales/de-DE I'm attaching the ebuild and the three locales tarballs.

mozilla-firefox-1.0.3.ebuild with LINGUAS support
It seems that you cannot enable more than one locale with the
--enable-ui-locale switch. Only the last --enable-ui-locale counts. So I
modified the ebuild to build firefox with the first supported locale found in
LINGUAS.
alexf I really like your ebuild! maybe you should add a date to the translation tar.bz2's (ie. mozilla-firefox_nl-NL_FIREFOX_1_0_2_RELEASE-20050420.tar.bz2) there are language packs available for firefox: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0.3/linux-i686/xpi/de-DE.xpi We should use these if we use anything. Downloading a second full source for language-support does not really make sense imo. We aren't downloading a second full source. The sources in cvs.mozilla.org:/l10n are really only the locales. The tarballs I attached here are smaller than 1 MByte. But I'll look into using the xpi packs and try to find out if the can be appled from within the ebuild. Using the locale xpi's doesn't seem to be an option. Firefox has a command line option to install xpi's globally named -install-global-extension "/path/to/extension". But using this in the ebuild does not work, since it requires a running X11 server even though it does not open any window. And even if that worked the user would still have to "activate" the locale afterwards, which is difficult given that Firefox has no UI to do so (There exists an extra extension for that). So right now the approach to actually build the first supported locale from LINGUAS right into Firefox is much better (as my ebuild does) than installing locales as extensions. By the way, extension installation will be much simplified in Firefox 1.1. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286034 for details. Using locale's xpi is not an options by different reason: native build have more changes, then XPI provides - that's why people want it in first place! Additional search plugins, defalut bookmarks, it will search not only in .com, but in .de or .jp by default, etc. All this is not in .xpi file at all ... Created attachment 59705 [details]

patch formozilla-firefox-1.0.6-r6.ebuild for LINGUAS
Please add it to Portage!!!
(In reply to comment #25) > Created an attachment (id=66997) [edit] > patch formozilla-firefox-1.0.6-r6.ebuild for LINGUAS Have you tried my patch? I think it is much cleaner (support for more languages) and cvs checkout from unpack would be a really bad idea. For the Mozilla Gentoo Team, please speak up! This shouldn't take a year! until I sit down and come up with a better solution best I can tell ya is to keep up with the progress and create a custom tarball if your wanting to use CVS. Problem with cvs is it can change from min to min as I am sure your aware of wich makes it impossible to mark a build stable ... I will look into snapshots that we will host on our server and use to allow LINGUAS support as you are requesting. Later today I will also be adding the new cairo patch will will solve a complete different bug making it much easier for you all to update your ebuilds against. Thanks for your patients while we work out a better solution then CVS checkouts for lingua support. to ^j^ You add my patch! Why do you think I did not post it here yet? Like Dick Marinus and Jory A. Pratt say. Plus there is also part of cairo patch within. See bug #98828. [OT] to Jory A. Pratt Thanks to add that cairo patch finally. regarding comment #27: Jory A. Pratt we are using cvs tags, which means that no matter when you check out, you will always get the same source. All you have to do is set the tag in the mktag.sh script which is attached here and distribute the generated tarballs via gentoo mirrors. please.. to Dick Marinus
I'd rather use this for language determination:
inherit eutils # which is already there, i know
strip-linguas "af_ZA ar_JO ast_ES be_BY ca_AD cs_CZ cy_GB da_DK de_DE el_GR
en_GB es_AR
es_ES eu_ES fi_FI fr_FR ga_IE he_IL hu_HU it_IT ja_JP ja_JPM ko_KR lt_LT
mk_MK nb_NO nl_NL pa_IN pl_PL pt_BR pt_PT ro_RO ru_RU sk_SK sl_SI sq_AL
sv_SE tr_TR zh_CN zh_TW"
for x in ${LINGUAS}; do
SRC_URI="${SRC_URI} linguas_${x}? (
mirror://gentoo/${PN}_${x}_AVIARY_1_0_20040515_BRANCH-20050817.tar.bz2 )"
done
But well, just another way around. :)
As i know, next Firefox/Mozilla versions will use iso codes for language naming.
So compatible to standard linguas settings like ...
ca cs de el en-GB es-AR eu fi fr ga-IE gu-IN he hu it ja
ja-JP-mac nb-NO nl pa-IN pl pl-PL ro ru sl sq sv-SE tr
But I do not know if all are compatible.
hmmm...
if [ "x${LINGUAS}" == "x" ]; then
LINGUAS="en-US"
fi
I think this is better:
[ -z "${LINGUAS}" ] && LINGUAS="en-US"
just my 0.02 euro cents. ;-)
nonetheless, having localized ebuilds for mozilla stuff is a must have!
Hanno Meyer-Thurow: strip-linguas doesn't work right, when generating the digests (ebuild mozilla-firefox digest) you want all languages to be downloaded and MD5ed. With strip-linguas this doesn't work. I stole this idea from the kde-i18n. Stefan Briesenick: Setting the default ui-locale isn't necessary, when omitted firefox enables en_US by default. Alex F: They seem to have stopped tagging since firefox 1.0.3 I've filed an bug upstream: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=306226 Dick Marinus: Please ignore comments to my patch silently. Thanks. If strip-linguas does not do so it is a bug there. We should use eclass functions, shouldn't we?! comment #32: dick, in your bugreport upstream please state why we need it. it should be made clear, that this is important for distros in particular gentoo, but other to i guess. i imagine then they might give it a higher priority. a pretty simple workaround could be a big EWARN at the end of compilation to tell users that want localisation go to http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/linux-i686/xpi/ and install the xpi pack. This will be fixed when 1.5 is released for good a localized version of ff and tb allow for locale specific to be passed and will be supported then until then hold on as we are working to get 1.0.7 up to snuff. Firefox 1.5 is in the tree now, but contrary to comment #36 the ebuild doen't support LINGUAS. I am working on this please bare with me. I plan on doing a -r1 later today that will be added with initial code for testing only. I am not gonna guarantee it works as I use english locale. *** Bug 73555 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 78986 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Come tomorrow I will be closing this as genstef and myself have worked out the issues at hand for handling locales. So tomorrow for those of you running ~arch you will be able to have your native language support. http://dev.gentoo.org/~anarchy/ebuilds/mozilla-firefox-1.5-r5.ebuild http://dev.gentoo.org/~anarchy/ebuilds/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.5-r2.ebuild http://dev.gentoo.org/~anarchy/eclass/mozextension.eclass Please try out and tell us if something goes wrong *** Bug 117805 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I have already commited the -bin ebuild with linguas support as soon as I am done compile testing 1.5-r9 I will be adding it to the tree :) Fixed in CVS, thanks for your patients. |
