In May 2019, the Mozilla Philippines Community (MozillaPH) Localization (L10n) Team experimented in holding its monthly meeting to Slack — no audio nor video; only text-based chat. And we found out that this is effective, especially that a decent Internet connection is something that we all can only aspire if you’re based in the Philippines.
The experiment was initiated to give people who wish to be part of the MozillaPH localization efforts to participate better even if Internet connectivity is challenging.
Earlier this year, in February 2020 to be precise, the entire organization of Mozilla switched from the old school IRC server to a Matrix instance for synchronous messaging.
For the MozillaPH L10n Team monthly meeting for this month we opted to give the Mozilla Matrix a shot — and it went pretty well. Of course, after months of getting used to Slack as the meeting platform, we somehow missed the threaded conversations.
Android L10n for Tagalog Kicks Off
One of the topics discussed during this month’s MozillaPH L10n Team Monthly Meeting was to commence localization of Firefox for Android since Firefox Lite (Rocket) will no longer be launched in the Philippines.
Thanks to Delphine, Android L10n has been activated in Pontoon (Tagalog). Check it out via https://pontoon.mozilla.org/tl/android-l10n/ and help us finish the localization.
