Just got Nick's email, asking for opening this thread, so here we go:

The first question that comes to mind, is, whether the localization should be formal ("Sie") or informal ("Du"). From my experience on other projects, i think we should go for a formal translation. What's your opinion on this?


Hey Derlinzer, thanks for

Hey Derlinzer, thanks for posting. You're welcome to edit and put it in German if you wish...

Hi Kollege DerLinzer

Hi Kollege DerLinzer :-)

Yes, formal is always better. Here is my vote for the 'Sie' version.

And I would prefer to keep the thread English. Not necessarily so but I wouldn't mind it.

Hi Markus,

Hi Markus,

my name's Ralph, but changing the username is not possible anymore ;-)

Since Firefox itself uses formal addressing, the decision should be to go with that...

I also think keeping this thread English is no bad idea, since others can possibly benefit from the conversation.

You should be able to change

You should be able to change your name Ralph, go to your account and hit edit?

Hello Ralf, Markus, Nick

My Name is Matthias, how shall we work?
What do you think of two versions, one "formal" and one "informal"?

Matthias, since Firefox also

Matthias, since Firefox also uses formal addressing, we should walk that path as well.

I will be finished with my first draft tomorrow night and either pm you the file or send you a link to download it. Then we should discuss any changes, fixes and improvements - i'm always open to input.

Is that ok for you?

Yes, sounds good

Thank you - perfect for me

then we can try out the rest

There will be a small delay

There will be a small delay with the first draft of my localization.

We have the last few sunny and warm days for this summer over here (Austria) and i don't want to spend them in front of the screen. Real sunlight is still superior to screen radiation, even when it's a double screen setup ;-)

I hope, that's ok for everybody, that's already waiting for it. So, please be patient until the end of the week...

I am not waiting :-)

I am not waiting :-)
