The first Persian Firefox builds (built by Tinderbox) are available! These builds, according to Persian Mozilla Dashboard are 86% percent complete. Nearly all parts of the browser are translated. The remaining things to translate include a number of security error messages and UI strings, and the installer (which is in fact translated, I'm just working on bug 305039 to make the installer Unicode, so that we can have a useful Persian installer). These will hopefully be finished soon as well.
Your feedback is very much appreciated. If you are a Persian speaking user, please download these builds and provide feedback here. You can get the builds from these locations:
- Persian language pack [131KB] (useful for installing on an English nightly Firefox build)
- Windows installer [7.1MB]
- Windows zip package [10MB]
- Linux package [9MB]
- Mac OS X package [16MB]
By the way, as you note, the version of these builds is 3.2a1pre, which means they are preliminary versions of what will eventually be Firefox 3.2 Alpha 1. Firefox 3.1 builds will be available as well as soon as bug 467573 is fixed.

How do you get on with regard to the Export Restrictions on the Mozilla Source Code?

Re: How do you get on with regard
Mozilla Firefox source code was recently cleared of this restriction. You can read the whole story here.
What about the addons
Does all the addons work for this browser also?
As a developer I would be looking at modifying joomla 1.5 templates and addons like firebug would be useful.
Re: What about the addons
Not all add-ons may have Persian translations available, but yes, all of them will work with this release, provided that they are compatible with Firefox 3.5 of course.

About the patch for the installer to be "Unicode aware", you're great, Ehsan!
I'm waiting to have a localized installer for our locale!!! Can't wait!!! :D
Re: About the patch for the
There is still a major issue to be resolved with my patch, but once that's done, we will have Unicode installers!
I will post an update here on my blog when that's done, so stay tuned!
