Updating Firefox 3 Product Help

One of the changes from Firefox 2 to Firefox 3 is that the product help documentation is now hosted here on support.mozilla.com. The 13 original xhtml help files for each locale have been imported from the Firefox codebase, and now we need your help to update them for Firefox 3. The en-US articles have already been updated.

• You can view diffs of the changes made in the en-US articles, and simply apply the same changes to your translated articles.
• For links to your articles and where to keep track of progress we have a tracking page on wiki.mozilla.org (click the link below your language code and be sure you're logged in on SUMO, or you won't see any links!).
• To learn about editing Knowledge Base articles, see Editing articles.

• In addition, there is one article added to in-product help: Page Info window. This article didn't exist in Firefox 2, so we need you to translate this article from scratch. For instructions, see Translating articles. (Screencast [3.0M])

This sums up to a total of 14 support articles that need to be translated/updated for Firefox 3. If you can, please also update the tracking page with your progress (e.g. write "In progress" if you're working in the translations, or "Done" if you're finished).

Product Help checklist:

• Make sure the articles are moved from the Staging category to the Knowledge Base category, otherwise it won't be seen by visitors not logged in. Edit an article to change the category.
• Make sure the categories "Firefox 2", "Firefox 3", "Linked from in-product", and "- This is a help article -" are checked.

Translating start pages

In addition to the product help above, we also ask you to spend five minutes to localize the start pages. For more information, follow these simple instructions.

Some info about the review/approval system

Because support.mozilla.com is the official knowledge base, and it is a wiki, we need to be careful that users don't read incorrect information on the official KB. So we have a staging area and review/approval system for new contributors. Contributors deemed trustworthy will be able to approve their own edits. As a locale leader, you of course can approve your own edits; but you have to remember to do that in order to make them public. For more information, see Approving articles and edits.

If you have any questions, please ask in mozilla.dev.l10n.web or drop by at #sumo in irc.mozilla.org.
