I have an idea how to improve the synopsis! What is Bugzilla-de?

Bugzilla-de is an add-on to Bugzilla, a bug tracking tool by Mozilla. Bugzilla-de allows Bugzilla's GUI to be displayed in German.

Bugzilla-de was called Germzilla some time in the past. For this reason, Bugzilla-de downloads still contain the string germzilla. This is meant to change in the near future.

I have an idea how to improve the requirements section! What does Bugzilla-de require?

Bugzilla-de requires Bugzilla to be installed and working.

I have an idea how to improve the download instructions! What to download

The Bugzilla-de version must fit exactly to Bugzilla's version. You cannot use an older or a newer version. It may work or seem to work occasionally, but there may be security issues or failures on some or all pages. Because of the version interdependency, the Bugzilla-de version number contains the Bugzilla version number it fits to; it is built up like this:

<Bugzilla-de-version>: <Bugzilla-version>-<Bugzilla-de-release>

So if you use Bugzilla version 1.2.3, you'll want to get the newest Bugzilla-de version 1.2.3-x. The filename has the structure bugzilla-de-<Bugzilla-de-version>-utf8.tar.gz.

Find your download here.

Follow your Bugzilla version's number, then download the latest Bugzilla-de version matching your Bugzilla version's number.

Version numbering pitfalls

If you use Bugzilla version a.b.c, don't use Bugzilla-de version a.b-c. You need the newest Bugzilla-de version a.b.c-x, as described above. Bugzilla-de version a.b-c is to be used with Bugzilla version a.b only.

I have an idea how to improve the installation instructions! How to install

Extract the de directory in the package.
Place the extracted de directory and its contents into Bugzilla's template directory, so that it sits alongside the en directory Bugzilla ships with.
Run Bugzilla's checksetup.pl script.
If you use mod_perl, restart Apache.
