Mabuhay, Pinoy & Pinay Mozillians! Kamusta kayo?
The Mozilla Philippines Community (MozillaPH) is happy and proud to announce the commencement of localization efforts in Cebuano and Hiligaynon. To kick things off, both languages will start the localization of Firefox for Android via Pontoon.
Cebuano Mozilla L10n
Cebuano (ceb) is widely spoken in the southern Philippines with more than 19 million native speakers as of 2010.
The MozillaPH localization efforts for Cebuano will be led by MozillaPH Regional Coordinator for Northern Mindanao Romar Mayer Micabalo.
Hiligaynon Mozilla L10n
Hiligaynon (hil) is one of the widely spoken languages in the Visayan region and parts of Mindanao with more than 9.3 million native speakers as of 2010.
Mozilla Rep Frederick Villaluna, MozillaPH Regional Coordinator for Negros Occidental Lenuel Betita, and Pinoy Mozillian Localizer Amiel Pastor will be at the helm of the localization efforts for Hiligaynon.
Next Steps
Now that Cebuano and Hiligaynon are activated in Pontoon (the localization tool used by Mozilla to translate products, services, and websites), the local community needs to work on their respective Style Guides.
To participate on the formulation of the Cebuano and Hiligaynon Style Guides using Google Docs, kindly accomplish this online form:
If you are the geekier type, you may also hack on the Style Guides via Github.
Maraming salamat po!
