Thanks to Teo (polish translator) the extension now comes with a tidied up dtd system and a much better options dialog (many thanks Teo!)

I have updated the extension here on babelzilla, BUT I am not too sure why some of the old dtd structure still remains in the WTS system?

You should not have to fill out too much, just check I have copied across the correct strings from the old to new dtd structure.

Many thanks, Tony

PS - thank you for the congrats goofy.

PPS. If anyone else is interested in adding functionaility or tweaking existing, I am in the process of setting up an svn repository.

Yes when a new submitted file has less strings than its previous version, the unnecessary lines remain but it has no consequence on translator's work nor on the extension when including downloaded files.

FYI - SVN Repository:

http://code.google.com/p/minimapsidebar/

Email me at 'mctones' at that google email and I will add anyone to the list of approved contributors.

Help, advice, contributions greatfully recieved :-)

[tones]

Right, apologies for the multiple uploads over the last couple of days. I have just discovered a problem with my zip program that was adding redundent files to the xpi from some bizarre unknown cache.

Will try uploading one more time, if this does not work will add extension as a new submission.

Apologies, Tones

here goes...

[jackbin]

Traditional Chinese [zh-TW] locale updated.

[jojaba]

In mapsprefs.dtd the extension name is Minimap for all the strings except help.caption (Mini Map). Should be changed, don't you think ?

Japanese locale released in WTS!
... and congratulations for Extend Firefox 2 Contest Grand Prize.

Thanks.

[tones]

Thank you mar :-)

Also, whilst I am here just wanted to gauge translators opinion:

I have been hacking around the last couple of nights and have added the ability to export all addresses as a kml, csv, gpx or custom xml files. Users can also import this custom xml file (am working on import for kml, csv and gpx).

I would really like to get this into the next AMO release of minimap, and conscious that you have all just been working on a translation, wondered which you would prefer:

- roll out extension with 'Export' and 'Import' in english for now
- roll out extension and use google translate for 'export' and 'import' for now
- upload to babelzilla now and be patient :-)

Thoughts, Tony

Well I would definitely prefer the third option; in my opinion multilingual extensions look messy, even if it is on a small scale (so NO, DO NOT USE OPTION #2). Just make sure not to erase any work done so include locales that are still in progress or in Testing/QA

Hi Guys - 0.2.2 added which includes import/export, an improved edit address dialog and performance improvements when adding/deleting multiple address list items..

I will try and build up any further enhancements to reduce the impact on you guys, sorry about this last week been very hectic and all :-(

Hi Guys - 0.2.2 added which includes import/export, an improved edit address dialog and performance improvements when adding/deleting multiple address list items..

I've tried the import/export feature, and some bugs are found.

1. The exported files that contains Japanese characters are not encoded to UTF-8. Therefore, the characters of imported address are broken. (just encode probrems only.)
2. import /export menu item has no tooltiptext.

and, below is my opinion.
3. Should not jump to the location when right click the address list area if any item is focused. (usability probrems.)

Thank you.

Hi Mar

1) Oops - I'll correct that one - does anyone here know how to do this? Am using nsIFile. I also spotted a couple of problems with import which I have corrected for the AMO upload.
2) I'll add the same entity as the label for now.
3) There is no way around this I am afraid :-(

Hi, tones.

I've confirmed both are fixed on your new test version that you sent me.
The feature is great.

About 3), it's a small probrem. Do someone worry for this?

I see on AMO the version 0.3.3.1 with more hardcoded string

Can you provide here a version for full translation?

Thanks in advance
