Bugzilla Localization Working Group
There are people who make localizatons happen: the localizers.
Also, there are people who make localizations possible: architects, analysts, and developers. Localization as long-term design goal may affect decision making in many points that may look orthogonal.
People
The l10n team has been created on 36th meeting.
- Siarhei, Belarus
- Cédric Corazza (Cedric), France
- Marc Schumann (Wurblzap), Germany
