W e l c o m e !

As I think you already know, in case you have some curiosities about the WTS, you may find here short and simple Questions&Answers about it!

In case you're looking for some specific translator, please see the list of the available translators on BabelZilla.
Selected that desired one, you may send him a P.M. or an e-mail (if and when public).

You may also insert a new Topic in the Help Section, in order to ask for specific translations, to write a general request about missing translations, etc.
---

Since I'm the previous Italian translator, if nobody objects I'll re-provide the Italian localization.

Dutch locale added and released . Could you take a look at the window width? As English is a pretty compact language a translation may fall off the screen, as illustrated below...

[Sergeys]

ru-RU locale is released

[xeen]

Damn, I had hoped I can just ignore this and you can shorten it in some way so that it fits.
The other possibility is to add "translations" for the width/height of the dialog and let every translator create/use his own size. It's not that I think this is bad, it's just that the recognitive dimensions of the wizard are lost, if you change them.
Is it possible to shorten the translation if you aren't very strict to the English original? It's pretty redundant anyway, I included it though since it looks "empty" otherwise. As long as it expresses what was meant, I'm fine.
As an example, you could leave out "should" in your translation, without losing any detail (e.g. Empty searchbar on submission?)

If yes, it would be great and save much work
Thanks for your translations

I have just shortened the translation to the equivalent of 'Empty searchbar on submitting?', and now it fits. I suggest for someone experiencing the same thing to do similarly.

Please use the current locale as the official one.

Great, thanks. I still have to wait for the japanese locale to be finished and then I will upload the repackaged extension to my page an AMO.

Italian localization has been completed, tested and set as Released.

[WangKing]

zh-CN locale added

[xeen]

Thanks, I want to improve speed when possible before I release a new version. If I'm not able to do that or any other improvement, I guess I'll provide an updates version so that the users can benefit from the new locales.
Thanks everyone!

Edit: I need someone to test it on Mac, because I think I can remove all that "fixing mac theme" part as it already got fixed in the new default theme. I believe it's broken partly anyway due to the searchbar redesign, so I might as well remove it. However, I've got nobody using a Mac I could ask to test, so is there anyone on Babelzilla I could ask?

I have tested the version you have uploaded here in a Mac (iBook G4 with Mac OS 10.3 i think, I am newbie with Mac) and the autosizer function does not work at all, and red lines do not appear when using the wizard for max/min size.
I tested the previous version (1.3.2) and it works, even if I had to define the max/min size with the advanced mode because I could not drag the red lines.

Odd. 1.3.2 _is_ the latest version, although not yet approved on AMO.

Do you have any messenger, so we can chat "live" which could help me solve the problem faster. (Mine are:
ICQ: 138866875
MSN: xeen1988@hotmail.com
AIM: xeen14
Jabber: xeen@jabber.com (at least I believe that)
Yahoo: xeen123
)
If you drag, are there any errors in the javascript console? Could you copy and paste them here, and even better can you tell when they appear (when moving to a "please size" page, when clicking the red bars, when trying to move the red bars, when releasing the mouse?).
Thanks

Hello!

pl-PL translation is ready!

[xeen]

Added ability to revert to default engine after submitting a query.

[menet]

Hi xeen,

I have put to Released the French.

This new options works well, I like to come back to the default search engine.

But Leak Monitor extension shows me now the following 2 leaks using the Autosizer Configuration Assistant at the end doing End :
Leaks in window 0x3643a38:
[ ] [leaked object] (28e6348) = [Object]
[ ] [leaked object] (2cc1fb0) = [Object]

Best regards

Meh, that shouldn't happen. I doubt it's grave but it doesn't suffice Autosizer's high quality. Will definitely fix before real release.

Ok, fixed I won't upload it to babelzilla though in order to prevent the system spamming your mail (You can it download it though for testing, see below)

=== Changelog ===
Compared to 1.3.4:
- Added ability to revert to default engine after submitting a query.
- Fixed memory leaks when using the wizard
- Using the wizard now really works when no browser window is open
- Clarified comments at code level
- about 0,5kb larger. Will be even bigger with all the locales though, so 0,5kb (including new de/en) is pretty good

Compared to 1.3.5b1:
- Fixed memory leaks when using the wizard
- Using the wizard now really works when no browser window is open
- Clarified comments at code level
- 2nd and 3rd wizard option didn't continue after 2nd page
- (almost) no code size increase

1.3.5b2 is temporarily available here:
http://xeen.reversestudios.com/Searchbar%2...01.3.5beta2.xpi
It doesn't include the new locales and therefore will only work on en/de Firefox. It's for testing only.

That should make Autosizer even better and raise the high quality bar. Thanks for pointing the leak issue out, as otherwise I probably wouldn't have found any of the problems I fixed above.
Greetings

First of all, I am very sorry for not having answered you. I didnot notice your post (I thought I had activated the tracking mail for this thread but obviously I hadn't) until I received the locale update mail.
I have never used messenger or similar (if it is strictly necessary I can ask for help to my children, they know a lot about messenger). I tried to prepare a complete report in order to send you through yahoo mail, but when testing I discovered that most problems are due to some kind of problem in my Firefox profile and my lack of knowlegde about Mac.
I have tested this last version in a Mac clean profile and works OK. The only strange thing for me is when you are going to drag the red lines in order to define the max or min size of the searchbar window: if you try to do it with Autosizer Wizard window open, you cannot. You must minimize the Wizard window (clicking on the yelow icon) and then you can drag the red lines. Perhaps it is the standard way in Mac, but I was used to Windows and Linux and it took me a lot of time to discover what was I doing wrong.
If you need any other information you can contact me by mail (urko.mail at gmail)
BTW: Spanish locale tested and released
