Este pequeno tutorial é dedicado àqueles que já têm conhecimentos básicos sobre edição e tradução de uma extensão para aplicativos baseados em Gecko: Firefox, Thunderbird, Mozilla. Ele vem inteiramente de um artigo do mozillaZine Knowledge Base.

Esses são os passos para traduzir a descrição de uma extensão que vamos chamar de tournicoti

            1) Verifique se a extensão tem a seguinte estrutura, caso contrário crie o que estiver 
                faltando:

                            |---install.rdf
                            |
tournicoti.xpi==|---install.js
                            |
                            |---defaults------preferences-----prefs.js
                            |                  
                            |---chrome.manifest                   
                            |                                                                 |--content
                            |---chrome---------tournicoti.jar=====|                                                     
                                                                                              |---skin               
                                                                                              |                               
                                                                                              |---locale--|
                                                                                                                |
                                                                                                        tournicoti
                                                                                                                |
