contributing to Mozilla through Localisation (Firefox aurora in Tamil)

Hi Friends,
            After a long i have got time to update my blog, This time i have come with a new way of contributing to Mozilla Firefox., Easiest and interesting way of contributing to Mozilla can be done Localization(l10n), There are various localization languages available for translation, you can choose ur preffered language language for translation.The translation can be made using three ways one is by Mercurial, and other method by Narro tool  and the final method is by pootle.
Another Mozilla Representative has written a blog on using Narro tool(http://ant2android.com/2012/08/01/contributing-to-mozilla-aurora-tamil/)
Let me Explain in detail about using pootle
visit the given link below:
 http://mozilla.locamotion.org/

Sign up for ur pootle account and click on the conformation mail.!!! so now now you are ready for translating Firefox in preferred language
 
Let me discuss in detail about contributing to Tamil Firefox aurora.
choose Tamil language from the given languages in the pootle site
You ll get a overview of translation
Click on the existing project (i.e Firefox aurora18 is the current project)
