View on WTS -- Download the extension

Hello Ian
Spanish locale finished and tested, available in WTS

Hi Ian
I already translated alto this your extension, and I uploaded the Italian localization in the WTS

Please, could you add the localized description also here ?
Many many thanks in advance

cool! i like this :-D
btw, if mouse cursor go out from the area and button goes released, it should qualify as dropped, i think.

I updated it with localized extension description now. Thanks for everyone who contributed so far.

MatrixIsAllOver, local description for GeckoTIP is coming soon too, in the next update (along with some additional new strings to translate).

Ian

The updated Italian localization can be grabbed as usual from the WTS
In the Italian Description translation I added "per le pagine web" (In English, "Enable for web pages Adobe Acrobat-style grab and...")
Please, let me know if you agree, otherwise I'll remove this adding !

[Perhaps OT]
I downloaded the last version (0.9.8) and my localization
I simply opened the xpi file and inserted in the it-IT locale the properties file
I installed the extension, but after the restart of FF I receveid "error in the chrome structure..."
Well, in order to test the localization I created a copy of the previous version, then I changed the inner n° version to "0.9.8 test" , replaced the grabanddrag.js in defaults\preferences and added the properties file in my locale folder (for the description)
The localized description works fine
[/Perhaps OT]


Dear Ian,
really many many many thanks

I do agree my original description is a little vague, but I purposely avoided saying something like "webpage" in it since it's also a Thunderbird and Sunbird extension. If you can suggest a good, concise way to improve the description I'm all ears

I think the error message was because I accidentally wrote the wrong code for ja-JP (I used jp-JP) in the install.rdf file.

Ian

Mmm
I fear it could become too long (?)
May I do some test, think about this "question", then propose some description later ?


Checked, changed, installed ...it works
It was so simple !
I'm too complicated (created a copy of the previous version, changed n° version, etc etc...)
Please, forget it

If I can suggest, why not:

"Permette lo scorrimento e il bloccaggio delle pagine con lo stile tipico di Adobe Acrobat"

in english it is similar to this...

"It allows the scrolling and the blocking of the pages with the style typical of Acrobat Adobe "

"Page" in italian is a generic word, and could be good for Firefox but for Thunderbird and Sunbird too.

I'm sorry, but the description I chosen it's different from your
Thanks anyway for the suggestion, but I think I won't use it

page is not correct/complete about ThunderBird
Thanksk anyway also for this suggestion

victory, I think the system dropped you from being the ja-JP translator because of my earlier mixup labelling it as jp-JP and then fixing it (that's a tricky locale name; you'd think both would be the same abbreviation..) So you might need to reregister yourself as the Japanese translator. Also, thanks for your input on the extension. You're right, I am going to count moving the mouse cursor outside the window as a mouseup in the next release.

By the way, I'm crediting translators under the "contributors" label in the install.rdf file, which shows up in the extension's "about" page. If you want your real name instead of just your babelzilla handle, please provide it

Also, there's going to be one more update in the next day or two, and then probably no more new strings for a while. Thanks again for everyone who helps translate

Ian

You got a P.M.

no program



victory is fine for me

then i'll update after that

Turkish (tr-TR) locale added to WTS

Batuhan Çetin

Italian localization updated

Batuhan,

Did you start the tr-TR translation yet? I just uploaded a new version of Grab and Drag and now I don't see it; I hope the system didn't erase all your work just because I didn't have it in the new file I uploaded... Goofy, is there a way to retrieve it?

Ian

I registered as translator for your extension and finished translation yesterday, but now I realize that the extension is no longer in "manage my translations" list and all my work has gone! And unfortunately I did all my work on WTS, and did not download the files!

If there is no way to retrieve it, I may translate it again but I will need some time.

I translated the extension again and hope there won't be anything like that again.
I also downloaded the locale files for any unforeseen problems.

done
btw, what is '-' right of Extension Enabled checkbox

Batuhan, sorry for the problem. The site should keep older versions' translations around so this doesn't happen, but I guess its still a new site From now on I'll check carefully before potentially overwriting something.

victory, I don't know what that is, but for some reason it appears because the checkbox doesn't have a label (which always appears to the right of the box). I prefered an unassociated label so I could put it above the box instead. Guess its a weird quirk of Mozilla...

@ batuhancetin we are very sorry for this episode.
Up to now, when an author updates his extension and submits again with all the locales he already has in hand, these locales are still there with his new upload. But when a locale is not 100% done or not on the "released" status (I don't know if it was the case, I just mention) then the locale is not taken into account and "lost" apparently (not available in the new submission). There can also be another kind of problem, we are still in beta phase, Ptit Lutin and Fenian are cleaning the code and debugging in the background
--On the other hand, neither me nor tech admin were connected when your problem occurred (it was late in the night for european time) so we could not react as requested. But you should not have translated again , because Fenian can grab the previous version back in the WTS database on request (just send a PM) and give it back to you.

-- in any case, considering the incident, every translator is invited to have a local copy of his work each time a significant work is done

Goofy, my Chinese translator, rupert.li, says the encoding of the dtd file created by the site for the Chinese locales isn't working correctly. The encoding of Unicode characters in the "&####;" format seems to work for him but UTF-8 doesn't. Anyone else have trouble with the Chinese locales? For now I'm converting the site's Chinese locales to the "&####;" format before packaging them.

Italian updated localization can be grabbed as usual from the WTS
* * *
About the encoding question, this is a problem still alive
Please see here-> http://www.babelzilla.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=1012
Every kind of help will be welcome

Hmm... this seems like a different issue; The thread you linked to is only a problem for .properties files, it says, while this is a problem with only .dtd files... Maybe its related though?

Probably this is a related situation, but I'm not sure at all


ADDED:
I signalled the above situation in the same linked Thread
I hope this could be helpful

No problem, I understand, the time was late for me, too (at about 5.00 am). But I couldn't sleep, and translated it
If it happens again, I will send a PM to Fenian

Goofy, I saw you're trying to recruit new French translators for my extension. Any luck? I was hoping to release the latest Grab and Drag 1.0 in the next day or two and all the translators for other locales seem to be done. Should I wait for a French translation before releasing it, or just include fr-FR in the next release after 1.0.0?

Option two.

Please release now, it is OK.
It is not a problem of course to find "usual" french translator(s) for your nice extension (it is not very long to translate nor difficult), but I was trying to propose a new coming "beginner" translator to do it (with our help if necessary), just to initiate. So he/she will take a little long time and the translation will be ready for another release.

- I hope you understand. Thank you for your concern

Maybe I could try translate this extension.

As far as I know, translators are supposed to write locale file under the encoding environment of UTF-8

If you download the extension directly from this site, does the zh-TW locale work properly for you? Rupert says it's not working for him..

Hi Ian

I just added the geman translation (de-DE) to WTS.

(Version 1.0.2)

Serge, I think the problem is that you used double quotes in your translation. Can you change them to single quotes and we'll try again?

Goofy, maybe the site should check for this kind of thing and automatically correct it?

Done

Yes of course - already reported

Serge, I updated the Grab and Drag file on MozDev but it takes them a couple of hours for it to take effect (and I didn't change the version number b/c this was such a small fix). In a couple of hours from this post, try and see if the de-DE locale is working.

Oh, and Goofy, I don't seem to be getting tracking emails anymore from this topic even though the board says I'm subscribed... is it possible that there's a bug in the forum code someplace?

Bingo, it 's working

ru-RU locale now available in WTS.

russian translation with some improvements ready in WTS

Brazilian Portuguese translation released on WTS.

Hi,

french translation is available on WTS.

[Edit] sorry, I have not seen, that you have alredy integrated the french localization ... in the page of description on addon.mozilla, fr-FR is not written.

Hi, czech translation is ready in WTS too

Hi everyone,

I just uploaded Grab and Drag 1.1, with some new tweaking features (and therefore new strings to translate )

Ian

Locale zh-TW and zh-CN are both done!

de-DE is ready to go

And also Italian localization has been updated

Also Spanish (es-ES)

russian translation released in the WTS.

Guys, sorry to hit you with another update so soon, but I just updated to Grab and Drag 1.2, which adds some "flick" gestures support which tablet PC users will enjoy! I'm just too productive I guess
