After a certain number of tests, I can say it is more handy now !
- Stylesheet lines are preserved
- Doctype line filled with extension name and filename given by the user.
- Description tag recognized -->strings entitized.
- creation of new files throughout dialog working fine

Good news for me thanks for your support

I have a little request :
On line 260 of the .js file there is a control for string length
I think it should be set to 45 characters to avoid too long entity names ;-)

I want to change completely the way entity name is generated.
I want to make some parameter user defined (i.e. max length)
I want to remove substring shorter that 3 characters (or a value defined by user)
For example actually the string
Please specify a value
is localized with
label.please.specify.a.value
But the substring a is unuseful
I must test generation for special characters
BTW, I need to make some other improvements, stay tuned

Ah, and I asked for our friend efdur to provide a little icon for the extension, here it is

Very cool, thanks

Grazie ancor'una volta !

A user-defined length for entity name will be a pretty good improvement.

I am not sure that removing less than 3 characters strings in the entity name would be a good idea :
1. Accesskeys are only 1 character long
2. There may be occurrences when two strings have only a very limited but significant difference that should be maintained

I still have a problem with digit chars being ignored (extractdialog.js lines 25à-254)

this kind of input from a real extension :

CODE

   <menupopup>
                        <menuitem value="2" label="2 seconds"/>
                        <menuitem value="4" label="4 seconds"/>
                        <menuitem value="8" label="8 seconds (default)"/>
                        <menuitem value="10" label="10 seconds"/>
                        <menuitem value="10" label="12 seconds"/>
                        <menuitem value="15" label="15 seconds"/>
                        <menuitem value="20" label="20 seconds"/>
                        <menuitem value="25" label="25 seconds (slower connection)"/>
                        <menuitem value="30" label="30 seconds"/>
                        <menuitem value="35" label="35 seconds"/>
                        <menuitem value="40" label="40 seconds"/>
                        <menuitem value="45" label="45 seconds (dial-up)"/>
                        <menuitem value="50" label="50 seconds"/>
                        <menuitem value="60" label="60 seconds"/>
                        <menuitem value="90" label="90 seconds"/>
                     </menupopup>

gives this output :

CODE

<menupopup>
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem..;" label="&menuitem..seconds.;"/>
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem..;" label="&menuitem..seconds.;"/>
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem..;" label="&menuitem..seconds.default.;"/>
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem..;" label="&menuitem..seconds.;"/>
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem..;" label="&menuitem..seconds.;"/>
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem..;" label="&menuitem..seconds.;"/>
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem..;" label="&menuitem..seconds.;"/>
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem..;" label="&menuitem..seconds.slower.connection.;"/>
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem..;" label="&menuitem..seconds.;"/>
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem..;" label="&menuitem..seconds.;"/>
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem..;" label="&menuitem..seconds.;"/>
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem..;" label="&menuitem..seconds.dial.up.;"/>
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem..;" label="&menuitem..seconds.;"/>
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem..;" label="&menuitem..seconds.;"/>
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem..;" label="&menuitem..seconds.;"/>
                     </menupopup>

(well, to be honest, I do like it when everything becomes crazy)

When I localized this file, I snipped the relative lines of the extension and got a satisfying result. So in a distant future (when you have time to manage and only when you have time), it would be nice to have this choice added in the user's dialog :
"Ignore digit chars" with a radio button to be notched.

Mumble mumble you are right

I still have a problem with digit chars being ignored (extractdialog.js lines 25à-254)

This problem will be fixed when I rewrite the routine creating entity name.

Maybe no need to add an option for digits, simply I must handle them correctly

Ottimo signor Davide

Vedi qua :

CODE

<menupopup>
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem.2;" label="&menuitem.2.seconds;" />
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem.4;" label="&menuitem.4.seconds;" />
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem.8;" label="&menuitem.8.seconds.default;" />
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem.10;" label="&menuitem.10.seconds;" />
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem.10;" label="&menuitem.12.seconds;" />
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem.15;" label="&menuitem.15.seconds;" />
                        <menuitem value="&menuitem.20;" label="&menuitem.20.seconds;" />

Though it is a minor improvement not adding to corecode, I am pleased to attach here a version with a toolbar menu button (displaying efdur's icon), thanks to the contribution of Ptit Lutin

To who may give some help for debugging GoofyMistakes™...

I have up to now localized more than 20 extensions with Externalize and they work fine. But I probably added my personal mistakes in the following 3, instead of various attempts I cannot make them work.
I also attach here the original version.

Hi

Spanish locale (es-ES) released, available in WTS

Here:
h**p://rapidshare.de/files/25808204/externalize_0.0.21_Lutin.xpi.html



The tooltip text of toolbar button was forgotted to translation (in externalizeOverlay.xul file, at content folder):


I changed it:


externalize.dtd files modified, new entity added:

(all locales, en-US, es-ES and it-IT (translation required))

Tested and working fine for me:

(as you can see on this & the first images)

Best regards.

PS: excuse my very poor english

[Goofy]

Great, thanks for this improvement and for your work !
- Feel free to use it when some extension without localization appears on Moz update !

[Pedro]

In case you are interested, here you have the last available version packed with three .txt files (unzip first)

Thanks JB.. and surely a great "thanks" to Davide... I will try this interesting tool

Nothing for the .js files?
