would you recommend translating the mozdev.org pages? it's really only the index page and the FAQ page. how would the mechanics work? has anyone done this on mozdev.org?

I don't know if mozdev.org pages can be localized, but even if they can, what's the use
since the extension will not be publised for a while more so the possible users will be limited
to a handful of hard-core enthousiasts ?
I'd consider that a waste of time for all of us (including yourself) for the time being.
Anyway, el-GR released.

[eXXile]

hmm I don't know who is the original translator for el-GR but he has obviously done a very good job. [...]

Oh, I remember YOU are the original translator...

ROFLMAΟ !!! I am the original translator after all [...]

You made my day!

I'm registered as german translator and already released the localization. I realized there is one error in the german translation of AiOS. But yours should be fine now.

Thanks to Goofy for the invitation message!

[Goofy]

back dear Ingo!

back dear Ingo!

Hello Goofy, nice to see/read you again.

[Sonickydon]

Oh, I remember YOU are the original translator...
You made my day!

Well, i didn't read Goofy's message about the connection with aios at first but i'm glad to see people laugh
plus, i forgot to thank Goofy for the invitation
welcome back Ingo

gracias - heh, i will be in andalucia for 2 1/2weeks in april..

Finnish [fi-FI] ready

goofy, et al:

there are still many missing translations, what would be the best thing to do? it's very hard to see who (id to PM) belongs to what former AiOS translation to ask again.. the 2 lists in a previous post don't associate the name with an id/mail. the contact system could be a bit improved here.

also, technically, if certain strings have no translation, should the string be in en-US or blank? will Fx default that string to en-US if blank?

thanks!

sure it should be. the nicknames to PM are in the PMs I laready sent and for which I CC'ed you, so you can ask again perhaps. You can also fish missing translators out of this page

Every locale MUST be filled with strings (in the target language or in English by default). If you leave blank lines for some entities, it will break the extension on intall

yes, but one can't know what nicknames correspond to what translator in the PM list - your notes have long names. anyway, i'll see what i can do.

Editing one lang after another you can grab every valid nickname to send PM to

yes i know, but that is very painful for 30 locales.. ;)

also, the mechanism for getting strings is also painful. i'd rather not download 30 times 3 files worth of strings. this is very inefficient. these things would be nice:

1. on a locale translation page (ie view the specific version and locale and file page), the results should be already formatted in the structure for the .dtd or .properties file, as they are in the download file. so, the page should show, respectively:
<!ENTITY label.string "translated string"> or
property.name=translated string

2. all of the formatted strings should just be listed (together by type of file) in a multiline textbox (editable or not) such that a select/copy/paste from the web page into the extension author's local file is a few clicks operation per file.

might these changes be possible at some point?

I am not sure I understand the starting point of your suggestions, hence the suggestions themselves are not clear for me (remember I am goofy after all)

I don't understand why you

download 30 times 3 files worth of strings

when you can download all available locales in one click
 download_locales.png ( 5.15K ) Number of downloads: 4


and why you need to copy/paste formatted strings inside your files one after another when all you have to do is drop the whole locale folders inside the main "locale" folder of your extension. Here an example of simple downlading of ALL locale files for one locale.

aha. i should have tried the download all first, to see how it works; it's nice and automated. je m'excuse..

but say i want to just get one or two strings for one locale. only fast way is to download the file - i was thinking if the formatted strings were on the page it would just be cut/paste. i'm the type who opens and inspects each file to see if it's ok etc etc.

anyway thanks for your patience and help.

[Goofy]

I see. Sure it is good practice to check every file . As you mention, you have to download the whole file even if you want to copy/paste a couple of strings, or formatted strings. For translator's work, we think it is easier to edit one string after another with the original string just above and not write in one multiline textbox. So I don't think we will modify this feature.

no nothing would change for the translator, that part is well done. you would just display an additional textbox, at the bottom, with all the formatted strings for a file together summed up automatically, via script, from the results in the translated boxes, so one drag select & copy is possible.

[Goofy]

ah you mean an additional thing. Ok we shall discuss this on admin side.






Would this kind of link be enough for your needs ?

yes, exactly. actually, a link like that might be best, i was thinking originally just have it on the same page, but it might be too cluttered.

[Sonickydon]

Hmm.. i received an update notification twice but i can't see any new/ altered strings.. so .. el-GR released again.
