I'm going to put up a few images on my site that show how to use my Xippee extension #5309 (on Firefox addons page). So could people translate the sentences below into any language you know reasonably well? These will be the captions to the images, which will be localized based on browser language settings. I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer. Also please mention the language you are translating to in case it isn't obvious to me. You can just add the translation as a post on this thread if you like. Thanks everyone.

Robert

How to use Xippee:
1. Perform a search in your favorite search engine (Google, Yahoo, or whoever you like best).
2. In your search results find words that you would like to see more or less of. Double-click on a word then press the plus or minus button to add or filter words from your search. Your results will then refresh automatically with your updated search.
3. You can repeat this process as many times as you like until you obtain the search results you are looking for.

Forgot to mention we made a 60 second video demo to show how it works in case someone doesn't understand the description I gave above:

Hi Robert,
I am fighting again with the video guide of VisualSearch, and the setting of my webcam microphone on Linux. is Xippee the new name of Visual search extension? tongue.gif

I will try again with this new video... stay tuned and cross your fingers tongue.gif

Here there's italian beta translation (beta because the italian translation team must check it)wink.gif

QUOTE("Italian beta translations")
Come utilizzare Xippee:
1. Effettuare una ricerca con il motore preferito (Google, Yahoo!, o qualsiasi servizio si desideri)
2. Nella pagina dei risultati cercare i termini da escludere o aggiungere ai criteri di ricerca ed effettuare un doppio clic su di essi. Nel riquadro che apparirà premere i pulsanti 'Più' o 'Meno' per aggiungere o escludere il termine evidenziato ed attendere il caricamento automatico della pagina dei risultati che saranno aggiornati secondo il nuovo criterio di ricerca impostato.
3. È possibile ripetere questa operazione a più riprese finché non si sarà ottenuto il risultato desiderato.


Bye bye Luca
Are you sure that I am a translator? Have you seen my english?

Yes, we renamed the feature to xippee. We figured Xippee.com is easier to remember than visual-search.net (and its a little catchier too I think). However the url www.visual-search.net will still get you to the same place. The site has been redesigned as well, but isn't quite finished yet. I look forward to seeing your video!

smile.gif Here is the French howto

Citation
Mode d'emploi de Xippee :
1. Lancez une recherche avec votre moteur de recherche favori (Google, Yahoo, ou n'importe quel autre selon vos préférences)
2. Dans vos résultats de recherche choisissez les mots que vous aimeriez voir apparaître davantage ou que vous souhaitez exclure. Double-cliquez sur un mot puis cliquez sur le bouton + ou le bouton - pour ajouter ou exclure un mot de votre recherche. Vos résultats de recherche seront automatiquement mis à jour avec la réactualisation de votre recherche.
3. Vous pouvez répéter cette manoeuvre autant de fois que vous le souhaitez jusqu'à ce que vous accédiez aux résultats de recherche que vous souhaitez.

Thanks! Looks like this is a better idea than the localized demo videos.

Here is Spanish translation wink.gif

CODE
Cómo usar Xippee:
1. Realice una búsqueda utilizando su buscador favorito (Google, Yahoo, o cualquier otro que prefiera).
2. En los resultados de la búsqueda, identifique las palabras que quiera que aparezcan más o menos en los resultados. Haga doble clic en una palabra y pulse el botón más o menos para añadir filtros a su búsqueda. Los resultados se recargarán automáticamente con los nuevos datos.
3. Puede repetir este proceso tantas veces como necesite hasta que obtenga los resultados que esté buscando.

I just got to thinking it might be good if people put which country they are from as well, just in case there might be significant differences between the same language in two different countries.

Okay, I've put up all the translations I've got so far on www.xippee.com if you guys want to check them out to make sure I didn't screw it up somehow. This whole localization thing is actually kind of fun!

It is displaying correctly in French. I suggest the words "Step #1, 2 , 3" should be translatable too.
In French it can be
Étape n°1
Étape N°2
Étape N°3

Okay, check again and let me know if they look okay now. Which browser are you using so maybe I can check for myself as well.

If anyone is interested in helping me localize all the content on the Xippee site I made a page where you can fill in the translation next to each item on the site that needs translation. Make sure to hit the submit button on the bottom of the page and then look for a "Thank you" on the top of the page after you click on it. If you only do part now and part later the boxes you already have done will be empty, but you don't have to redo them as I will already have those translations. You only need to fill in the top few boxes every time so I know who is sending me the translation. Go here if you would like to see what I've got going on with this:
http://www.xippee.com/Translations/Translations.aspx
By the way, visits from the countries we have done the few translations for here are increasing. I should have thought of doing this a long time ago.

You must have some theme I haven't seen before. It looked a little like Opera, so I wasn't sure. I'm a big Firefox user too, but I had to make versions of this plug-in for all the rest of the folks who may not be as enlightened as Firefox users. wink.gif I'm sure they will come around eventually rockon.gif
