L10n UI Focus Areas for Localizers

The following features in Firefox 4.0 beta 2 will be the user interface features needing the most testing by your team:

  • Add-Ons Manager
    • Description: Firefox 4 developers aim to implement a way for addons to integrate into Firefox UI in a way that plays nicely with themes, allows maximum customizability, and eases implementation for addon developers.
    • To view the new Add-Ons Manager, type "about:addons" in the URL bar. Here you will see the new UI for the add-ons manager. There are several items to look at here:
      • Translations and dialogues size for the side panel items
        • Get Add-ons
        • Languages
        • Extensions
        • Themes
        • Plugins
  • Switch to Tab
    • [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/Tab_Matches_in_Awesomebar Description: When an awesomebar result matches the URL of an already open tab, it should indicate that and allow the user to switch to that tab instead of duplicating it.
    • To test this
        1. Open up several tabs in your Firefox 4 beta
        2. Copy a URL for one of your open tabs
        3. Open a new tab and paste the URL
        4. Awesome Bar will show a "Switch to Tab" (yours will be translated) UI in the results
        5. Check for any dialogue size issues or other localization bugs
    • The development team created a test plan for their UI that you can review. Note, this test plan tests functionality, not localization.
  • Tabs on Top
    • Description and Mockups - In Firefox 4, tabs are given top visual priority for more efficient and intuitive browsing.
      • To view the "Tabs on Top" feature, go to the menu item View > Customize > "Tabs on Top"
      • Ensure the menu items are properly translated, functional, and viewable
      • Review the tabs UI and compare it to mockups above, noting any major differences that might occur in the localization
  • Firefox button (re-uses many strings from Firefox Menu Bar)
    • Description: In Firefox 4 for Windows Vista and Windows 7, all menu items are in a single button for easy access and reduced clutter.
    • On Windows 7 and Windows Vista, click on the new Firefox Button to see the redesign of all menu items.
    • Click through on all menu items to see any localization errors, noting especially any dialogue size problems
    • A very spartan project description created by the dev team is here
  • Feedback button/Test Pilot
    • Description: Beta builds will ship with Test Pilot and a Feedback button integrated into the build, which will allow us to get feedback from beta users.
      • Click on the Feedback button, and submit any feedback.
      • Try all other functionality within the Feedback button and make sure it is localized.
      • Pay close attention to button and menu item descriptions fitting the space.
      • (website) Example: http://input.mozilla.com/es-ES/ - Is it localized for your locale? Try out its functionality.
