Description Oliver Burger 2011-05-03 15:07:03 CEST
By now, we are able to add the international i18n-ml as assignee in bugzilla, but for language specific translation bugs it would be nice to be able to add the language specific i18n mls, too.
Comment 1 Michael Scherer 2011-05-03 15:09:28 CEST
That should be easy, we can just add a script to create the email in bz when the list is created.

Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2011-11-14 01:28:19 CET

I would like to use this to cc bugs to the ml of my language (el) .

CC: (none) => dglent

Comment 5 andré blais 2011-11-16 23:45:01 CET
maybe add [languge-code] in the bug summary
e.g. [el] for Greek

Then filter the i18n-ml messages received by the language code in the subject

I cannot understand what you mean

The goal is when i reply in a bug report that concerns the translation, then the reply will be cc to the mailing list of the language team.
Comment 7 andré blais 2011-11-18 23:18:27 CET
As I understand it, the goal is that you (or whoever) be notified when there is a bug report concerning your language.

Comment 5 suggests putting the language code as [...] in the subject/title of the bug report, so that when a notice is sent the the global internationalisation list, those interested in the language would filter the list (to a separate folder) so as to be notified of the bug report.
Filtering email (by the title or whatever) is readily done by many mail agents (such as seamonkey/thunderbird), and by email services such as google.
Note that text such as [el] or [es] or [fr] would not be confused with anything else, thus a reliable tag for filtering.

It is only another way to solve the problem, assuming that you are already subscribed to the general l10n mailing list.

Comment 8 Manuel Hiebel 2012-05-24 15:57:22 CEST
would be also better for the translator, since most of them don't read the global ml.

Comment 9 Frédéric "LpSolit" Buclin 2017-04-15 14:22:28 CEST
(no assignee -> back to NEW)

Status: ASSIGNED => NEW

Comment 10 Marja Van Waes 2025-12-30 22:34:36 CET
I doubt this is still a good idea. Since we moved to the Transifex website for the translations, we've had translators who weren't a member of the i18n mailing list for their language and even translators who weren't a member of any i18n mailing list at all.

@ Yuri
@ Filip

WDYT?

Looks somewhat irrelevant now. MLs are almost dead in many projects (GNOME, Fedora). It's easier to discuss things personally or using other channels. I think it's enough to have one centralized ML and spread the issues through this list or comments on Tx.
