Contributing to Thunderbird holiday calendars?

Hello everyone,

Hopefully I’m asking this in the correct place.

I imported the Thunderbird holiday calendar (https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/calendar/holidays/) for Finland and noticed the frankly horrible localization. The translations for international holidays were absolutely terrible (seriously, even modern machine translation could do better!) and local holidays were even missing. However, I couldn’t dig up any place to contribute to the translations or the calendars in general.

So, how are the holiday calendars maintained and where could I contribute?

Hi km55. Thanks for you strong interest in improving Thunderbird calendars. I see you have also posted at Contributing to Thunderbird holiday calendars? - Mozilla Connect, so I will post the same information in both places for wider visibility.

Calendar issues are tracked in github, and the current list of open issues is Issues · thunderbird/thunderbird-website · GitHub

I believe the localization aspect of your concern is covered by Add Localization to Holiday Calendars · Issue #503 · thunderbird/thunderbird-website · GitHub to address issues about Calendarific. What do you think?

We exclusively use information from calendarific and their date quality is not high. So there is an effort in use free software to generate public calendars #753 to replace calendarific. The latest is this draft PR.

Please join and add your expertise to the project.
