The journey to Firefox Tagalog started around 2009, when the Mozilla Philippines Community (MozillaPH) was formally established. No less than Mitchell Baker, Chairwoman of Mozilla mentioned the localization effort in her “State of Mozilla and 2008 Financial Statements” report dated 19 November 2009: Mozilla continues to grow ever more global. In June 2008 Firefox 3.0 launched simultaneously in 46… Read the rest

Robert "Bob" ReyesSeptember 29, 2018

“Pwn” or “Pwned” is pretty much a common word we see online these days. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the word as: ‘Pwn’ is a lot like the sense of ‘own’ that means “to have power or mastery over (someone).” It has also been used to describe the act of gaining illegal access to something.

For years now, Mozilla‘s localization efforts had been using Pootle as the Community Localization Server.

By following these rules, a translator has a better chance of producing a high quality translation that represents Mozilla values and culture. During the recently concluded Asian Localization Hackathon… Read the rest
