This website is the hub for various projects to improve Vietnamese language support in Mozilla-based applications such as Firefox and Thunderbird:
- Firefox 3.5, Thunderbird 3.0, SeaMonkey 2.0, and Sunbird 1.0 are being translated at Narro.
- ActiveState Komodo and Komodo Edit are being translated separately at BabelZilla.
- AVIM is an extension that allows you to type in Vietnamese without a special keyboard or software. [Install]
- The Vietnamese Dictionary addon enables Vietnamese spell-checking in textboxes, based on the FVDP wordlist. [Install]
“vi” was Minh Nguyễn’s Summer of Code project to localize Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5 into Vietnamese, under the mentorship of mozdev’s David Boswell. Google’s Summer of Code 2005 only allowed individuals to participate, so this project originally did not accept outside contributions. Nguyễn Mạnh Hùng is now leading the effort to release official Vietnamese localizations for Firefox 3.1 and Thunderbird 3.0. If you’re interested in helping out, please contact him.
