Swedish locale (sv-SE) added and released.

Hi Sparky

I am testing the Danish translation of Status-4-Evar - Ver. 2011.01.17.
I can't find the Tab settings anywhere in the UI. Haven't you implementet that part yet?

Added later: The tool tip for the Close button at the add-on bar is in English. It should be possible to translate that string too.

Joergen

Hi,
had to re-release the German locale for a last minute correction.
In case you had already downloaded it, please download again...

@Joergen:
> I can't find the Tab settings anywhere in the UI. Haven't you implemented that part yet?

I thought the same. I guess these are for future use ;-)

> Added later: The tool tip for the Close button at the add-on bar is in English. It should be possible to translate that string too.

This Close button is not added by Status-4-Evar, so it should be in the language of the Firefox browser.
For example: my Firefox 4 is in Dutch language, so the tooltip for this button is also in Dutch. There is no need for Status-4-Evar to include a translation for this.
I guess that you use an English version of Firefox 4, so this tooltip shows in English in your browser. However, I understand the confusion, because Status-4-Evar can also hide this button.

Just added a Dutch translation to this extension, because I do not (yet) like this status information in the location bar.
I also like the additional options this extension has, so keep up the good work ;-)

I did test the add-on in a Danish version of Firefox 4. The problem was, that this string wasn't translated yet. So I thought it was a part of Status-4-Evar.

Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR) locale tested and released.

Data for install.rdf

I updated Polish translation, there were a few typos

The zh-CN translation is not so good,I can found 2 big mistakes,and some little flaws(at least 5)
big mistake,such as
"Show hovered links in:" The"hovered" translate into "cached" in Chinese
Add me into zh-CN translator please,I want to fix it,thanks

I have opened the locale slot, feel free to collaborate with the current translator

Fixed.

Hi sparkybluefang

I don't understand the string "Show background network status", I can't see what this feature does.
Any help would be appreaciated.

Joergen

Swedish locale (sv-SE) updated.

@Jørgen: Jag kan inte heller lista ut vad "Show background network status" innebär, men direktöversatte det till "Visa bakgrundsnätverksstatus". Det går nog inte att formulera om det särskilt mycket, utom möjligtvis till "Visa bakgrundens nätverksstatus" (vad nu det betyder ).

Aupa, foro hizkuntza sekretua ez! Zerbait ezkutatzeko?

I was just about asking the same thing...


Was that an answer or the same question but in Swedish?

sparkybluefang - can you elaborate on what is the difference between "Show network status" and "Show background network status"?
I assume that it is not the same as "Show network status in background"...

a) No, not really. I just told him what I wrote and that I'm as bewildered as you are.
b) No.
c) Yes.

I would also like an elaboration on the string's meaning and function.

Na, mae'n holl frawdoliaeth am Sgandinafaidd. Dim byd arall.

I asked Bluefang on mozillazine forum to look at this topic.
Hopefully, he will provide some answers soon

While not being an official answer (Bluefang, please correct me if I'm wrong), I can guess its meaning by looking at the last addon version's release notes:


So my guess is that it's a setting to toggle showing the network status for operations that don't cause a page refresh. I haven't tested it yet though.

On a side note, since some of the options may look quite cryptic to the average non-tech user, it would be nice to have tooltips with explanations in the Options pane.

Yes, that is exactly what it means.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XHR
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_%28programming%29

I added that option for when you're showing network status in the URL bar. Some XHR status messages don't seem to be cleared when they finish, so they'll stick around for a while. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the extension or if it's a quirk in Firefox/web pages.

And some people just find it distracting, especially on sites like Google Maps / GMail.


That's not a bad idea. I'll do that in the next development cycle. If the descriptions end up being too long for tooltips, I'll put together a help dialog/page.

Serbian (sr) locale has been released.

Well, another old bug fixed for old zh-CN....
#1 -> ＃1 ,it can`t be replace by download number
My mistake...only test one download

Hello,

in Options Progress tab an input box is next to the label text Image. The default value in the input box is hardcoded as none. This value should be localizable.

Regards,
milupo

That is the CSS value "none", not the English word "none". I'll change it to just be blank.

Hi,

@sparkybluefang: In a German forum there was a request for an icon for the Add-on bar item in the Options toolbar. At the moment none is displayed because defined as empty null.png. Could you create an icon?

Regards,

milupo

Hi all here..!

Greek locale is ready, tested and released.

Many thanks to developer for this very useful multi-functional extension..!

Spanish locale (es-ES) is now available. Tested and released.

Many thanks to the developer. This extension is a must-to-have in firefox 4.

Russian locale has been updated and released in WTS.

Hi Sparky Bluefang

I can't find these two strings in the GUI.
'Space' and 'Round'
The Danish translation of these two words depends of the context. Could you please explain where and in which context these words are used.

Joergen

They are 2 of the CSS3 background-repeat keywords.
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#the-background-repeat

They are not in the UI because Firefox does not yet support them. But they eventually will appear in the background editor along with "Repeat" and "No Repeat".

Hey everyone, just a few comments:

* I accidentally uploaded the most recent update with the missing locale strings as "replaced" instead of "skipped". Sorry about that. I think the only locale that had strings marked as untranslated was bg-BG.

* I've gotten a couple of comments about the download progress strings (overlay.properties) not being correct. Please take a moment to double check that you're using the correct plural form in your translation. Thanks

Hi Sparky,

Personally, i thank you very much for your efforts to offer us such an excellent work..!
Keep walking!

I noticed a small glitch in the localization structure of the extension:
In accordance to Mozilla standards, in "install.rdf", you should put the entries
"<em:translator> name </em:translator>" within the section
"<em:localized><Description> </Description></em:localized>" , because now no one
of the translators appear in "about" window (FF 5).
I did the job for you, to save you a little time to devote it in the real code!

Also, i have a question:
In FF5 where i tested the new strings, i saw only those about the progress color for downloads.
The other two strings aren't applicable in this version of Firefox?

Thanks

It looks like all of the translations got messed up during the WTS outage, so I re-uploaded the extension. Unfortunately, that means the translation work since 10/16 was lost. Sorry about that.

The strings to translate were a deja-vu for me, so I was surprised about it. Then I looked at the forum for an explanation and read about a crash of the website.
That would explain why I got an email asking me to update the translation again.

Fortunately I had tested my translation in my own Firefox profile, so I could recover my translation quite easily by copying the extension from my profile and extract the xpi-file (through 7-zip). Then I copied and pasted the translated strings in the online translation interface again, so the Dutch translation is up-to-date again.

I have also other translations inside this extension file, so this might be helpful to get the other translations back. I have just checked the Geman and Spanish translations and these all have a translation for status4evar.download.color.paused.label
To me that means that these are the already updated translation files.

That is why I have zipped this file and attached it here on the forum. This includes all locales, so other translators can have a look whether their translations are already inside:

Thanks for this Translators please note that as an alternative to copy/paste you can just upload files (even several files in one pass) using the "upload" tab

There seems to be some WTS funkyness going on right now. I think all of the locale files are up-to-date and corrent, but the counts/percent-complete are way off.

Am I right supposing that there are not 79 new strings? I yesterday translated 4 new strings for prefs.dtd which are included..

That's correct. There are a total of 103 strings. I have no idea why WTS thinks en-US has 182.

Hello sparkybluefang, for my three languages (dsb, eo, hsb) is all OK again now. If you was able to correct it yourself, you may give a hint to Giorgio Maone, the author of Noscript. He has the same issue with Noscript. There 15 strings are shown too much.

Thanks.
milupo

Hi sparkybluefang

Can you please add me as translator for German language?
I have all missing strings ready. So please add me too.

Thanks.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year!!

Endor

I can't add you, but I opened registration for DE, so you should be able to add yourself. Don't forget to list your self as a translator in the meta.properties.

Admin:

To avoid stepping on someone's toes and/or ending up with parallel translations, we
recommend that you contact the existing translator(s) by sending him/her/them a
message asking if it's OK to join in or take over the translation.

Do that, give the translators a week or two to respond, and if they haven't answered
you, just contact me or any other admin, explain that you have tried to get in touch
with the existing translators for that add-on to no avail, and ask us to open the translation.

/Lakrits

Hi sparkybluefang
Thank you very much.

Cheers.
Endor

I kind of figured that was the protocol, but I wasn't sure. The [somewhat limited] documentation is spread between wiki pages, FAQs, and tutorials, so it's kind of hard to find.

But in the case of DE, I haven't seen updates since July 2011 (according to my version control logs). And since then, I have sent out numerous update requests, to all translators, as part of the update process.

One of the translators logged in very recently, which suggests that he/she might be reachable through an e-mail or a PM. And besides that, it's common courtesy and basic politeness to ask someone before taking over and amending to/changing that persons work. To me that is self-evident even if it isn't scribbled down somewhere.

The main problem is that if one of the two previously registered translators suddenly uploads an updated translation of their own, erasing what Endor8 has done, it may lower the quality of your product for the de locale users, as they might experience apparent random changes of the translation from version to version.

I agree that the documentation situation has somewhat decayed.'

/Lakrits

To prevent any further discussion I removed my 11 translated strings.

Now it is all like it was before I requested to be added as translator.
Now you can remove me as translator for German if the Admin. it requested
or it is necessary.

Please remove me as translator for German from this Add-on.

Endor

And, what has he done? Nothing. As sparkybluefang wrote, nobody translated since July. And the other registered thranslator has been in July the last time. You should be glad like sparkyblufang that someone looks after the German translation of Status-4-Evar. I receive an e-mail from Babelzilla if there are new strings to translate - and I think other translators as well. And, did the registered translators react? No, not at all.


It's nonsense. To see, what is new the translators must have a look on Babelzilla. And if they see that there are no untranslated strings they do not upload new files. And it is not OK that you insinuate Endor8 that his translations are of less quality. Also you should work in the interest of the extension author. And the extension author sparkybluefang has been wishing a completion of the German translation for a long time. Consider that extension authors and translators are the most important people here. Without them Babelzilla must be closed any time.
By such a politics like you do you drive both translators and extension authors away. Think it over.

hey guys cool down. I haven't seen any insinuation that Endor8 has done low quality job, Lakrits just stated what should be minimum carefulness about adding new translators in charge.
But now I can see the German team for this extension is lead by Archaeopteryx so we have no doubt he can perfectly manage and choose the best option for the benefit of the translation without any interference from us.
