Diese kurze Anleitung richtet sich an diejenigen, die bereits wissen, wie eine Erweiterung für, auf der Gecko Engine basierende, Applikationen wie Firefox, Thunderbird und Mozilla bearbeitet und lokalisiert wird. Es stammt aus einem Artikel der MozillaZine Knowledge Base. Übersetzung von Jürgen Berg .

Hier sind die notwendigen Schritte zur Lokalisierung der Beschreibung einer Erweiterung, die wir mal tournicoti nennen:

          1) Überprüfen, ob die Erweiterung diese Baumstruktur hat , wenn nicht,   
              fehlendes ergänzen:

                            |---install.rdf
                               |
tournicoti.xpi=====|---install.js
                               |
                            |---defaults------preferences-----prefs.js
                            |                  
                            |---chrome.manifest                   
                            |                                                                 |--content
                            |---chrome---------tournicoti.jar=====|                                                     
                                                                                              |---skin               
                                                                                              |                               
                                                                                              |---locale--|
                                                                                                                |
                                                                                                        tournicoti
                                                                                                                |
                                                                                                 -----------------------.....
                                                                                              |                 |                 |
                                                                                         en-US      (andere lokale Ordner...)
                                                                                                                |
                                                                                                 ----------------------
                                                                                                 |             |              |
                                                                                     contents.rdf     |    tournicoti.dtd
                                                                                                               |
                                                                                              tournicoti.properties
