Sorry, I didn't explain what I meant very well :(
There are translations for Firefox (and mozilla) already done. What I
meant was how to include the localizations by default in FC, because as
of FC3 they are not (correcte me if I'm wrong).
The browser is 50% of the desktop, and if it is not translated, we don't
have a very good localization support, and that's the first thing users
will see.
I know it is possible to get a localized firefox. What I did was to
install the "locale-switch extension" from:
http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/switch-locales/
and then my locale extension from:
http://ftp.eu.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/linux-i686/xpi/
But that's only user-wise.
I'd like a firefox-i18n-<locale>.rpm RPM which would install the desired
language for the whole system, and that the language would be selected
upon user locale preferences.
I wonder if some translation team has done something similar for their
locale, because I'd like to have the same for mine. I'm not
knowledgeable in building RPMs, so I don't know if such a thing is
possible or not (I hope it is! :).
