I finally got to blog about this: the Persian localization of Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 was released last week among the 70 localizations in that release.  This is the second release of the Persian localization team, and the release is currently in Beta.  We are hoping to prepare everything for the first official release of Persian Firefox with the release of Firefox 3.5.

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.

One of the projects that had kept me busy for the past few days was the translation of addons.mozilla.org into Persian.  The work is nearly done now, and is available for testing.  If you're an Iranian user or can speak Persian, please take a look around, and let me know if you find any mistakes, or can suggest any imporvements.  You can also view the progress of the translation here, and keep an eye on the fixes I make in the translation here.

Brian King wrote about how he used Translate Toolkit in order to manage the Slovene (sl) locale in Firefox.  I found the article worth reading, so I thought I'd share the link.
