Browse Happy!
Browse Happy!
Hello everyone — WordPress runs a site called Browse Happy, which you’ve probably seen, at http://browsehappy.com/. Here’s a bit about it:
Using an outdated browser makes your computer unsafe. Browse Happy is a way for you to find out what are the latest versions of the major browsers around. You can also learn about alternative browsers that may fit you even better than the one you are currently using.
The theme is fully internationalized and I would like to offer it in as many languages as possible.
Like WordPress.org does when directing you to a locale site, Browse Happy will be able to detect your browser’s preferred language and then offer you the ability to view the site in that other language. We will also do either a subdomain or a path to allow direct-linking to a local site (so de.browsehappy.com or browsehappy.com/de/).
You will then be able to link to the localized version in core. Browse Happy is only 29 strings, so I hope to launch with a few languages next week!
Here is the project on translate.wordpress.org. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy translating!

Done. By the way, you might also wanna take a look at the word counting issues on Trac.
Andrew Nacin 9:58 pm on May 11th, 2012 Permalink
Thanks! Yeah, we have been discussing the two tickets during our daily IRC conversations.
David Decker (@deckerweb) 11:25 pm on May 11th, 2012 Permalink
Hi! I just translated all German strings – ready for approval 🙂
coachbirgit 8:23 am on May 15th, 2012 Permalink
Thanks to David. I´ve approved today the german strings
Andrew Nacin 8:40 am on May 15th, 2012 Permalink
de_DE deployed.
coachbirgit 9:45 am on May 15th, 2012 Permalink
Thank you Andrew.

Russian version is ready.
Naoko 3:56 am on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Japanese is done too 🙂
Andrew Nacin 5:05 am on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
I have deployed all completed translations — pt_BR, ru_RU, pt_PT, bs_BA, it_IT, hr, ja, zh_CN, en_CA.
Thanks everyone! If your browser has an Accept-Language header (which should be most of you), it should work when you go to http://browsehappy.com/. If that doesn’t work, please let me know.
You can also go to http://browsehappy.com/?locale=ja (for example) — this is what will occur from a localized install of WordPress starting in 3.4.
Bage 5:25 am on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Tamil (Sri Lanka) ta_LK also has been translated. Why it hasn’t been included?
Andrew Nacin 5:26 am on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Oversight, thanks — done.
Diana 5:56 am on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
The translation is working here. Also I corrected some misspelling 😦 …Could you please re-deploy pt_br?
Andrew Nacin 5:58 am on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Done.
Bage 7:14 am on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Please re-deply ta_LK too as I have corrected few words. Thank you.
Emre Erkan 9:47 am on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
tr_TR is done. Ready to deploy. 🙂
Zé 9:47 am on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
pt is working. Notes:
Andrew Nacin 3:23 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Yeah, I noticed the “Brought to you by” — will be working on it with @hugobaeta.
?locale=pt was loading pt_BR, but I messed up the deploy for pt_BR last night, so you were getting English. I fixed pt_BR, and fixed how guessing works, so locale=pt means it will now detect pt_PT.
Zé 3:28 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
It’s important to establish that ‘pt’ means Portuguese and that every other variation of pt_* is exactly that, a variant. We’ve been at this since the 14th century, we’re not about to give it up now 😀 (and now let the brazilians fume. go!)
Andrew Nacin 3:35 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Yes, locale=pt loading pt_BR was a definitely a bug. 😀 The guessing code is now fixed, so values of pt-pt, pt_PT, pt, etc., should all load Portuguese, and only pt-br and pt_BR loads Brazilian portuguese.
Zé 3:38 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
This is an old jab at the way Apple lists languages, i.e. Portuguese and Portuguese (Portugal). There are whole forum threads of people angry at the insult 😛
Gwgan 9:56 am on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Welsh version cy-GB is ready.
gwgan 7:42 am on May 15th, 2012 Permalink
I’ve made some usability improvements and sorted some typos to the Welsh translation. Could you upload again, pleas. Thanks.
Andrew Nacin 7:47 am on May 15th, 2012 Permalink
cy_GB re-deployed.
Isaac Keyet 11:25 am on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Swedish done.
Coen Jacobs 11:52 am on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Provide a first run on the Dutch translation. 🙂
Milan Dinić 2:04 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Serbian done.
Andrew Nacin 3:16 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Deployed ta_LK, tr_TR, pt_PT, cy_GB, sv_SE, sr_RS.
Still waiting for validator approval for Dutch and German.
Emre Erkan 9:27 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Could you deploy tr_TR again? I fixed some typos. Thanks in advance.
Andrew Nacin 9:37 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
tr_TR deployed.
Diana 4:28 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
I think pt_br site is using pt_pt :S
Zé 4:31 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Vasco da Gama finally wins
Diana 4:44 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
😀
Andrew Nacin 4:41 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Hah, Zé. Diana, fixed.
Andrew Nacin 4:41 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
nl_NL deployed.
Diana 4:48 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Thanks, is working fine.
Milan Dinić 6:32 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
In Firefox and IE9, site title is way too large for sr_RS.
I suggest that link to wp.org also be i18n so that we can link back to locale sites.
Andrew Nacin 6:39 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
Yeah, okay, something weird with Typekit. I noticed it as well. We will get that fixed.
The link to wp.org was an oversight. It is now translated and it was already in the POT file, so, all set.
Kenan Dervišević 7:02 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
@nacin Could you redeploy bs_BA? I fixed a few typos. Thanks 🙂
Andrew Nacin 7:03 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
bs_BA re-deployed.
Kenan Dervišević 7:05 pm on May 14th, 2012 Permalink
That was quick 🙂
Naoko 3:32 am on May 15th, 2012 Permalink
@nacin I noticed a couple of things out of context. Could you redeploy JA?
Language detection is working beautifully.
Andrew Nacin 4:37 am on May 15th, 2012 Permalink
Done! Good to hear.
Naoko 4:45 am on May 15th, 2012 Permalink
Thanks! Noticed that the facebook share button is giving me an error & Safari like button is missing.
(Please click the image for a larger screenshot)
Andrew Nacin 4:57 am on May 15th, 2012 Permalink
I check every few months, but there is still no official Facebook page for Safari.
I will ask @otto42 for some help with the Facebook error, thanks!
Naoko 5:00 am on May 15th, 2012 Permalink
Oops, makes sense about Safari – an Apple product 😛
Andrew Nacin 5:06 am on May 15th, 2012 Permalink
Looks like FB changed their API slightly. Fixed.
Naoko 5:12 am on May 15th, 2012 Permalink
confirmed. thanx for the quick replies!

littlebouddha 10:11 am on May 17th, 2012 Permalink
Ready for approval for the French version, Xavier you’re in charge also ? If not how to become on ?
Xavier 10:42 pm on May 28th, 2012 Permalink
Missed that message, sorry. All the strings are validated ; I did correct some. Thanks!
Zé 11:48 pm on May 28th, 2012 Permalink
Deploy? In other news, this is probably the longest thread on this P2…
Xavier 8:38 pm on May 29th, 2012 Permalink
Did a second pass to get a better wording, most notably the baseline. Deploy again, pretty please? *bats eyelashes*
Zé 9:02 pm on May 29th, 2012 Permalink
Ask me like one of your french girls… 😛
Now deployed
terkel 3:18 am on May 19th, 2012 Permalink
Hi!
“Visit website for more info” for Internet Explorer is linked to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/ but this is automatically redirected to the US page.
http://windows.microsoft.com/ie works better since this is locale-aware.
Andrew Nacin 5:29 am on May 19th, 2012 Permalink
Confirmed, tested, and deployed. Thanks!
Takeru Suzuki 5:40 am on May 19th, 2012 Permalink
Thanks for your quick response! I love this project 🙂
DjZoNe 9:50 am on May 21st, 2012 Permalink
Please deploy the hungarian translation as well 😉
Zé 2:50 pm on May 21st, 2012 Permalink
Done (BH deploy requests could use separate threads, too 🙂 )
DjZoNe 8:58 am on May 22nd, 2012 Permalink
Thank you Zé 🙂
Although it doesn’t show up in hungarian…
Zé 9:13 am on May 22nd, 2012 Permalink
http://browsehappy.com/?locale=hu looks fine to me
DjZoNe 9:42 am on May 22nd, 2012 Permalink
Good for you 😀
I’ve found some typos. Would you be so kind to redeploy?
DjZoNe 9:54 am on May 22nd, 2012 Permalink
I’ve noticed that “Brought to you by %s” is not using the hungarian translation string. Do I missed something about that?
Zé 11:18 am on May 22nd, 2012 Permalink
See https://wppolyglots.wordpress.com/2012/05/11/browse-happy/#comment-13225
DjZoNe 11:42 am on May 22nd, 2012 Permalink
Shame on me. Thank you.
Can I have another deploy?
Zé 9:14 am on May 22nd, 2012 Permalink
Check your browser settings for the first language
drssay 8:20 am on May 27th, 2012 Permalink
