Mozilla localizations

Mozilla localizations are localized versions of Mozilla products. This usually entails that a product has been both translated into a certain language and that language and region specific features have been added.

Localization is normally carried out by teams of volunteers.

Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox is the most heavily localized cross-platform web browser to date.[1] The first official release in November 2004 was available for 28 different locales including British English/American English, European Spanish/Argentine Spanish and Chinese in Traditional Chinese characters/Simplified Chinese characters. Firefox 4 initially shipped with over 80 locales and introduced 10 new locales, including 6 African languages.[2]

The following table lists releases of Firefox and its precursors for the Microsoft Windows operating system, listing all locales available at the end of each version's releases.[2]
