<br>
Bellow you can find yesterdays email on dev-l10n for Firefox.<br>
Does Thunderbird plan to enable some kind of locale switch?<br>
<br>
I'm asking because for Croatia, around 47% of users are using
en-us locale, 44% is using hr and rest is using different
languages.<br>
A lot of those en-us users are using it because they don't know
hr locale exist. What happens usually is IT guys have their OS
language to en-us since everything in IT is connected to it and
when they go to download, it offers en-us version to them.<br>
<br>
Would be nice if Thunderbird installs automaticaly with en-us
and hr language for croatian users and offers them choice of
language for user interface.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Mihovil<br>

<pre>Hi localizers,
As hinted in a previous message, we are currently working on improving
the experience in Firefox for multilingual users. That includes, among
other things:
1) Adding a language switcher in Preferences to switch to another
language that is already available on the system (i.e. already installed
as a language pack).
2) Adding UI to preferences to manage basic interaction with dictionaries.
3) Add the ability, on release, to install a new language directly from
Preferences (it would download, install and enable a language pack from
AMO).
As part of #3, we also want to install dictionaries for that language.
For example: user chooses to install Italian on an English build, the
system will download the language pack and also install the Italian
dictionary.
In order to do that, we need a curated list of dictionaries that will be
installed with each locale, and we need your help and feedback to make
sure that list is meaningful and provides a good experience.
Here's the first version of this list:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://mozilla-l10n.github.io/firefox-dictionaries/">https://mozilla-l10n.github.io/firefox-dictionaries/</a>
You can also see the complete list of dictionaries available on AMO:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://mozilla-l10n.github.io/firefox-dictionaries/complete.html">https://mozilla-l10n.github.io/firefox-dictionaries/complete.html</a>
This list was created by:
* Picking one dictionary when language has more than one available,
usually looking at the number of users on AMO. The complete list provide
a list of such locales.
* Verifying that the dictionary can be installed.
Ideally, there should be only one dictionary per language, but there can
be exceptions. For example, the current list would also install de-CH
and de-AT for German.
Here's the *help we need from you*:
* Install the dictionary currently suggested for your language, and
check that it provides a good experience. If that's not the case, we
should remove it.
* Determine if you need more than one dictionary, and why that's the case.
You can provide feedback by replying in this email thread, or in the
tracking bug
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1481375">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1481375</a>
Note that this list will keep receiving updates in the future, for
example if a new dictionary become available, or if we start shipping a
new locale.
Francesco
