Localisation

The very first task assigned to me as a part of Weeks of Contribution is Localisation.

The steps to localise in the Pontoon were instructed to us clearly in the Hangouts call by the Mozilla Contributor.

Initially, I faced some difficulties in typing in my native language (Tamil) and later I became familiar with it. It was interesting to suggest translations and also I came to know some new words in Tamil. And I was little addicted to make suggestions to reach the top of the contributors list ;) .

I ended up with suggesting around 120 strings and waiting for evaluation of my suggestions.

My teammates also done well in giving suggestions.

• r.shanmugapriyan - 124 strings
• mahesharvind.ss - 52 Strings
• kalairex619 - 31 Strings
• lesleychennai98 - 29 Strings

On the whole, we learnt some Tamil buzz words in addition to contributing !

Mozilla - Weeks of Contribution 2016

I'm delighted to start my first contribution as a Firefox Student Ambassador(FSA) by being part of the #mozillatnwoc16.

The First and  Foremost reason for joining this program is my passion towards the open-source(Though I know little about it ).
The  Open Web Platform, now became the buzzword among the tech wizards in the open source community and I came to know ,this Firefox Student Ambassadorship serves a better environment to learn and contribute towards the open web.

WOC:
In this Weeks of Contribution program, I am going to taught my friends Abinash, Livingstone, Sathya Sai, Arun Kumar and Graselin Soorya about contributions to the open source, while getting trained from the trainers of Mozilla community.
I expect to learn Localisation of the technologies and the creation of add-ons as a part of this program.

In the near future, I will definitely contribute to the open source community by

• Refining and Improving the open source applications using my coding skills.
• Conducting Events at my college that will aware the students and to motivate them to contribute to the open source!

It's my pleasure to be Mozilla Tamil Nadu Community and I recommend every open source aspirant to join as a FSA :) .
