<h4>Assumption<br>

</h4>
|

<h4>
|
||||
Assumption</h4>
|
||||
You have a pair of localized browser's jar files in Japanese, ja-JP.jar
|
||||
and ja-win.jar, based off the N7.0 PR1 (2002-05-12) build. You would like
|
||||
to create an embed.jar of the same day from it. For T-Bird, you need ja-mac.jar
|
||||
instead of ja-win.jar.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>What you need</h4>
|
||||
All the following jar files from the same day (2002-05-12):<br>
|
||||
|
||||
instead of ja-win.jar.

|

All the following jar files from the same day (2002-05-12):
|

<ul>
|
||||
<li>en-US.jar and en-win.jar from the English US build</li>
|

<li>embed.jar and installed-chrome.txt from the embedding build off

2002-05-12's mozilla pull.<br>

en-US.jar and en-win.jar from the English US build</li>

<h4>Procedure (I use unix cmd; current working directory is <font

|
||||
<br>
|

Find out what's the difference between the English embed.jar and browser

|

<p><i><u>Option 2</u></i>: less automated approach
|
||||
<p>Find out what's the difference between the English embed.jar and browser
|

jar files, en-US.jar and en-win.jar. Expand embed.jar into embed_jar folder
|
||||
and en-US_jar.<br>
|

<br>
|

1. Find out what files are different first. Jar files are zip archives<br>

|

</ul>
|
||||
You will find some files exist in <font color="#3333ff">embed_jar </font>only
|
||||
and the others exist in <font color="#3333ff">en-US_jar </font>only.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
2. For the files are different, find out if they need translation at
|
||||
all<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
There should be only a few files are different. Let me name those files,
|
||||
You will find some files exist in <font color="#3333FF">embed_jar </font>only
|
||||
and the others exist in <font color="#3333FF">en-US_jar </font>only.
|
||||
<p>2. For the files are different, find out if they need translation at
|
||||
all
|
||||
<p>There should be only a few files are different. Let me name those files,
|
||||
"<b>en_diff</b>". The rest of exactly the same. Let me call them "<b>en_same</b>".
|
||||
For PR1, I found only 5 files in "<b>en_diff</b>"; four of them do
|
||||
not need translation. I only needed to manually edit navigator.properties
|
||||
to copy/paste localized resources from ja-JP directory. To automate this
|
||||
process, you can write a small app or perl script to replace resource
|
||||
values in the English version with those from the localized version.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
3. Prepare the files/directory for localized embed.jar<br>

Copy skin and content files first<br>

4. In <font color="#3333FF">embed-ja-JP/</font>locale, open "navigator.properties"

to replace resource values from localized resources in "navigator.properties"

in the <font color="#3333ff">ja-JP_jar</font> directory. To automate
|

this process, you can write a small app or perl script.<br>
|

5. Repackage them with zip

<ul>

<li><font color="#3333ff">workspace</font> > cd <font

<li><font color="#3333ff">workspace</font> > zip embed.jar -r content

skin locale</li>

<font color="#3333FF">workspace</font> > zip embed.jar -r content skin

locale</li>

</ul>
|

6. Replace all "en-US" strings in installed-chrome.txt with the new

language code, "ja-JP". You are done!<br>
