Zipping/unzipping files

To have a look into .xpi and .jar files, we can use tools such as :

- 7 Zip : http://www.7-zip.org/

- Izarc : http://www.izarc.org/

- ...


Editing files

Some useful tools :

- PsPad : http://www.pspad.com/

- Jedit : http://www.jedit.org/

- ...

Translating strings


- a great number of dictionaries and glossaries ( *to be completed)

- a very interesting extension by Lid2000 : Localite
with a mod version : it allows translating entities and strings from properties files without the pain of writing the <!ENTITY> stuff. You can even choose another textfile from the previous locale you did and just have to add the missing translations. A recent but promising extension...

- 2 extensions which can help to translate via Babelfish and/or Google translate :
Translate and gTranslate
- There also is the very good Translation panel extension

more to come... just add and share your experience !

THis is a message for the creator of a new site and awesome useful service

QUOTE
Few weeks ago I have launched a service for open source translators at http://open-tran.eu It lets people search English phrases used in open source software for their translation into 87 languages. Right now one can search for translations of KDE and Mozilla and so I thought that you might be interested in it. [...] I have downloaded the Mozilla translations from the following repository: cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/l10n using the branch MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH.

KDE translations are downloaded in a very similar manner from the stable branch of the anonymous subversion server of the project.

Some information about it is available at http://open-tran.eu/db.html.


It is a must-have for translators!

(I have just integrated the resource in BabelZilla Glossary extension as a direct link from the searched term to your language database)

You can test it online without the extension of course.
Click on one of the 87 languages databases you are interested in and drop an english word to see a list of translations already done in various opensource projects ! (KDE, Mozilla...)

Thanks, Goofy, for sharing the news with BabelZilla people. I would do it myself, but didn't know how to, you anticipated me. smile.gif I'm glad you appreciated the announcement I made in eXtenZilla and see you have already integrated the search-tool into a BabelZilla Glossary extension, wow! Thanks, I'm going to download it, as soon as I find it out! smile.gif
