| | 19 | <h1>MLP - The Mozilla L10n Project</h1> |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | <div class="explanation"> |
| | 22 | The <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/l10n/">Mozilla Localization Project</a> (MLP), |
| | 23 | hosted on mozilla.org, "tries to help and ease the availability of mozilla.org products |
| | 24 | toward different world cultures and languages through the support of the open source community." |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | <br><br>The main goal is to encourage people to <span class="hilite">contribute localizations</span>, |
| | 27 | make them available to users, and provide communication channels for the contributors (we have the |
| | 28 | <a href="news://netscape.public.mozilla.l10n" title="netscape.public.mozilla.l10n">n.p.m.l10n</a> newsgroup, |
| | 29 | an own product at <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/">Bugzilla</a>, and the IRC Channel <a href="irc://irc.mozilla.org:6667/mozl10n">#mozl10n</a> |
| | 30 | as the most important resources for that). |
| | 31 | <br>The second important goal is to <span class="hilite">make and keep the software localizable</span>. |
| | 32 | Again, Bugzilla is a great help there (the best tool for bugging developers - I guess that's where the name |
| | 33 | comes from). More about that later. |

| | 39 | All Mozilla L10n projects are volunteer efforts by relatively small groups of people or single persons. |
| | 40 | <br>The MLP web pages contain lists of all registered L10n projects and their major contributors, |
| | 41 | as well as their available builds. Currently, projects are listed for |
| | 42 | <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/l10n/mlp_status.html">Seamonkey</a> |
| | 43 | as well as <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/l10n/mlp_otherproj.html#firefox">Firefox</a> and |
| | 44 | <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/l10n/mlp_otherproj.html#thunderbird">Thunderbird</a>. |
| | 45 | <br>Seamonkey counts <span class="hilite">100 L10n projects</span>, Firefox has 39 and Thunderbird 22 listed |
| | 46 | (as of 2004-02-19). |
| | 47 | Not all of them have a current build though. Mozilla 1.6 is available in 26 languages (plus en-US) |
| | 48 | to this date, Firefox 0.8 was translated to 12 languages in the less than two weeks since its release, |
| | 49 | Thunderbird 0.5 got up to 10 localizations in the same time. We can expect those three numbers to still |
| | 50 | grow a bit, as we had 37 languages for Mozilla 1.5[.1], 24 for Firebird 0.7[.1], and 13 for Thunderbird 0.4. |
| | 51 | <br><br>All packs and builds (sometimes a bit delayed though) available at |
| | 52 | <a href="ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/l10n/lang/">ftp.mozilla.org</a> |
| | 53 | (older builds are on <a href="http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/l10n/lang/">archive.mozilla.org</a>) |
