@translators : I have sent a little message to the developer so that a little GoofyMistake™ (my error in the chrome.manifest ) will be corrected soon with an update to make locale files available.

[edit]
Should be fixed now

Hi!

Hungarian locale added.

One note:
After reseting timer: shows on status bar not the localized string
(it shows allways Timer).

The problem is in function Reset:

document.getElementById('timer_spanel').label = "Timer";

Hi there!

I'm back..

I have one possible way to show the localized string for item after reset:
(maybe exists a simpe way to correct this problem)

1. Move the localized string to timer.properties:
timer.menuitem.reset=LOCALIZED TIMER

2. Add to timer.xul
<stringbundleset id="stringbundleset">
<stringbundle id="bundle_timer" src="chrome://timer/locale/timer.properties" />
</stringbundleset>

3. Ad to timer.js
document.getElementById('timer_spanel')
.setAttribute("label",document.getElementById("bundle_timer")
.getString("timer.menuitem.reset"));

By me it works.

Regards,

Cashman

Good job Cashman!

There is also this 2 steps-only hack :

1. In the timer.js file:

var gtimerBundle = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/intl/stringbundle;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIStringBundleService);
var mystrings = gtimerBundle.createBundle("chrome://timer/locale/timer.properties");

On line 62

document.getElementById('timer_spanel').label = mystrings.GetStringFromName("TimerLabel");

2. In the timer.properties file:
TimerLabel=Timer

(the stringbundle is created in the .js file so there is nothing to do in the xul for lazy people like me )

* for information, I send a modified version to the dev for his next update

** I have a little tutorial about this, but now it is much simpler with Externalize extension by the great Dafi that automatizes the process, limiting the hazard of GoofyMistakes™ while writing code

I have updated the version to have this change.

Yes thanks ... but you forgot to include newborn locales in your xpi so translator's work is to be done again (not too many strings fortunately)

please read this :

Ukrainian locale released. Cool extension!

[Cashman]

Hi there...

Hungarian locale registered, added.
Available on WTS.

Thanks Goofy for corrections.
I'm not a good extension maker.
I'm just study the existing extensions.
Maybe in the future comes an extension from me...

Dutch locale added and released

A remark: 'Reset' does not seem to do anything.

[Luana]

Hi Blur3d,

I've just added, tested and set as Released the Italian localization.
BTW, since by clicking (id order to start the timer) it seems that nothing happens -and unfortunately I got various confirmations about this with the Italian locale- I've used a different translation, something like "Right-click and select 'Start' to start the timer" (obviously in Italian language!).
May someone other verifies if this strange behavior happens with another locale?
TIA

Moreover, I've tested the option 'Reset' and it works fine.
I've attached also a brief video inherent to one of the tests.

Have a nice day,
Luana

I can confirm the right-click issue. A normal click does not work.

[Luana]

I can confirm the right-click issue. A normal click does not work.

Thanks for your confirmation, after this I confirm the choice of the changed string!

@Mark
I've just tested the option 'Reset' with an English version of Firefox and your locale, and it works fine.
May you just write here step by step your method of the test (please don't get me wrong, I'm serious) so that I can try to be helpful in a better manner?
TIA

Test method 1:
1. right-click on the timer
2. Choose 'Start'
3. Choose 'Stop'
4. Choose 'Reset'
Result: Timer stays on time stopped and does not reset to zero

Test method 2:
1. Right-click on the timer
2. Choose 'Start'
3. Choose 'Reset'
Result: Timer stops as if pressed on 'Stop' and does not reset to zero

In both cases, 'Reset' seems to do exactly the same as 'Stop'. Restarting the timer effectively resets it, but I don't think that's the issue.

*EDIT* version used is Timer 1.1

I don' t know if the extension was updated but i tested that two test, and the extension works good.

es-ES tested and released

I've tried to test the version 1.1, switching to your language with QLS, and the extension worked fine.

Test method 2:
1. Right-click on the timer
2. Choose 'Start'
3. Choose 'Reset'
Result: Timer stops as if pressed on 'Stop' and does not reset to zero

I've tried also this method, with the same positive result, as you can see in this video.

Mmmh... just an idea: can be 'responsible' the "language" of the browser (Dutch) of this strange behavior (since with an English version of the browser it works fine)?

I think you are close to being right. I just tested on my home PC and there it works fine. It's probably not the fact that the browser is the Dutch version but merely some installation glitch that causes no significant problems . I will try a re-installation tomorrow.

Sorry for causing any inconvenience, and thank you Luana for being so thorough!

[markh]

We were both wrong. It is due to some interaction with another extension. I tested this one on a completely clean new profile instead of my usual test profile (which by now is starting to get pretty full - so much for testing in segregate profiles ), and it worked fine. In the unlikely case of me finding out which interaction we are talking about here I will post it of course.
