Read this important announcement: Camino reaches its end

(At Caminol10n we thank to all the people who contributed to Camino and its localization!)

The Caminol10n (Camino Localization) project is developed by people from every corner of the world contributing Camino translations, in order to make it even easier to adopt for international users. In case you're wondering, Camino is a fast, secure, easy to use browser built only for Mac OS X. All published translations are packaged into a single distribution (Camino Multilingual), shipped at the same time when the original (English US) versions are released. Therefore, coordination and a strong common knowledge base among localization contributors is essential. If you want to help with translations and reviews, please read the information on the welcome page, register to this website, browse our tutorials (see menu on the left sidebar) and contact people who speak your language, to make your work more productive and more fun!

If you're looking for Camino end-user technical support, please consider these more specific destinations: Camino's official documentation and FAQ, Camino forum @mozillazine, your local Mozilla community.

Camino 1.6.6 l10n status

Release notes can be found at Bug 469015. See the full article for the usual status matrix.

Please note that there will be one and only one release of this localized version of Camino. Therefore, it's very important that release notes translations are produced and sent as soon as possible.

A couple of hours with iLocalize and Camino 2.0alpha1

in

After spending a little time on the building routine of Camino 1.6.5, I downloaded Camino 2.0alpha1 and looked at what's going to be done for the localization teams.

In the meantime, I had upgraded iLocalize to version 3.8 through its software update system: at the moment, it looks like a seamless upgrade with near to zero impact on the Camino l10n process.
One of the little things that make iLocalize useful is the ability to detect changes when you upgrade the base package (I can't say if this feature was present in previous versions); here is what was listed, when I upgraded my Camino 1.6 iLocalize document importing the Camino 2.0alpha1 package:

Camino 1.6.5 l10n status

Release notes can be found at Bug 463074. See the full article for the usual status matrix.

Please note that from now on, there will be one and only one release of each localized version of Camino. Therefore, it's very important that release notes translations are produced and sent as soon as possible.

Camino 1.6.4 l10n status

Release notes can be found at Bug 451502. See the full article for the usual status matrix.

Please provide the translated release notes before Sept. 16 22:00 (CEST).

Reminder: expected edits in release notes for Camino 1.6.4

Here are the changes that are expected to show up in the release notes of Camino 1.6.4, scheduled for September.

  • Usual set of latest changes, put atop of the document

Camino 1.6.1 ML updated

As of June 5th, Camino 1.6.1 multilingual has been updated with fixes for Spanish and for a problem with the software update interface when running Camino in French. All current Camino 1.6.x users should receive the new version when checking for updates (manually or automatically). French users might find difficult to use the internal software update engine, because of the aforementioned UI glitch: if that happens, just download again the disk image from the Camino web site or from the link in the top-post on our Home page. The problem has now been fixed and won't affect future updates.

Portuguese team lead wanted

We're looking for new contributors for the Portuguese language, because the main contributor can't guarantee to have time to work on Camino during next months. Actually, we've also been looking for pt contributors from Portugal for some time, since the only translator we have is from Brazil.
Would-be contributors will get all the help needed to get started with localization tasks by me, reading the documentation on this site and getting help from our mailing list.

Please head over to the Portuguese group page and sign up to be part of the group.

Easier way to reference Bugzilla bugs from this site

When posting a story here, you can now enter just "bug ####" (where the hashes # represent a bug ID) inside the body of the article and, much like it works in bugzilla, the corresponding bug will be automatically linked when the post is displayed to the public.

Camino 1.6.1 l10n status

The Camino team has recently finalized an RC for Camino 1.6.1. Unlike other dot-dot.x updates, this one carries a small amount of strings to update, along with the usual release notes work. Moreover, this time the localized updated description showing up through the Sparkle framework should go live.

Release notes can be found at Bug 431626, or directly inside the RC build.
The update description for Sparkle can be found (the original) and uploaded (the translation, as file, please) at Bug 433072

As of Sat. May 17th, I have received all the needed files from the l10n teams.

Camino 1.6 l10n status

Camino 1.6 is getting closer and everything is ready for the final l10n rush.
PLASE NOTE - DEADLINE FOR THE ML PACKAGE: April 15th 11:00PM (CEST)
The detailed l10 status matrix is now visible at the Camino Wiki. As you can see, also languages that were not available for Camino 1.5 are listed.
Some of them received some kind of treatment in the past, some of them have been added to the list because we found out that at least 2 users have registered to this website, then they could possibly build a new l10n team (at least 1 translator and 1 reviewer).

Existing and new teams should now use comments to this post in order to provide information about the status of their work. This post will remain atop of our home page while we're working on Camino 1.6.
