Swedish locale (sv-SE) addes and released.
You have registered my old AutoCopy translation as "sv". Please remove that. For the time being,
sv-SE is the locale for Swedish in Mozilla applications.

@teo,
Something is wrong with AutoCopy 2 on WTS since recent crash.
The title is displayed as "dummy1". And when you click on "show all available localizations" button, nothing is shown.
Perhaps an admin could check those issues and restore AutoCopy 2 properly.

Hi,
In
autocopy.properties, the line
openCptOptions contains additional copy-paste data:
"In the Copy Plain Text preferences have to be set formatting options for working this feature.\\\\n\\\\nNot set formatting options for Copy Plain Text.\\\\nDo you want to do now?
autocopy-description=Copies selected text to the clipboard automatically. Like Linux or mIrc."
Been there, done that, so don't worry (but remove it)

Teo, thank you for your work on yet another extension.
el is set on testing and will be released as soon as i will have the time to "play" with it, though most of the strings are pretty much straight forward.
I do have some comments on the english strings though, but right now I don't have the time to mention them.

ok, I don't have the time to list all my suggestions here so I'll just post the files here and you can perform a diff to see what's changed.
The el locale is ready to release and of course the changes in the english files do not require additional translation.
One comment though:
Is the "search for:" feature handled by the browser or the extension? In my language we use "«»" instead of '""' as quotation marks and it looks a little bad. It's not that bad but since I just noticed it and if it's not handled by the extension, I'll file a bug on it

This is handled by the extension and I uploaded new version. Now each translator can adjust quotation marks.

One last comment (which I forgot earlier):
Keep in mind that some locales do not use the latin alphabet or keyboard. The shortcut key combinations you provide in the preferences menu are all based on it.
That's a minor issue and most likely nobody will have a problem with it (90% of the users who care to use and -most importantly- set shortcuts, are advanced users/programmers and therefor used to the latin keyboard anyway.)
Thanks for the quick fix on the quotation marks

(Just for your information: It's nice that you provide an option to localize the extension's name, but since our team is too small to provide support for extensions, we avoid to localize extension names so that the users will be able to find support on the web in case they need it. Thus the string will remain in english).
Hi
Some remarks about the new customizable quotation marks:
1.
In locales where the double quotes (") are used (even in the en-US locale), we need to escape them with a backslash (\), because that character is a reserved one from that language.
Using simple (") as they was uploaded to WTS, causes a error in the code of options.xul and options.js files (displayed in error console), escaping the values of both new keys in autocopy.properties file (both with the double quotes), the error is gone...
2.
For the key "autocopy-context-menu-quot1", we need also insert a blank space before the quotation mark (even before his escaping character backslash), in order to get this: Search for: "Selected text to search for" instead of: Search for:"Selected text to search for", but WTS deletes the (starting) blank space from the value of this key. Then we need to add a blank space at the en of "autocopy-context-menu-searchfor" key value to workaround the issue (must be "Search for: " instead of "Search for:"), same applies to Spanish locale as well.
Testing Spanish [es-MX] now...
Best regards.
EDIT:
About the #2 remark, does not work any of my 2 suggestions (blank space at the beginning of "autocopy-context-menu-quot1" key value and/or blank space at end of "autocopy-context-menu-searchfor" key value), that's because in the properties files the spaces at beginning or end of key's values are skipped (ignored, omitted)...
Why not simply change "autocopy-context-menu-searchfor" string to include the first quotation mark?, like this: Search for: \"
If this is implemented, only a single new key will be needed (for the second quotation mark only), so you can delete the "autocopy-context-menu-quot1" because is obsolete but keep "autocopy-context-menu-quot2" as well.
Best regards.
EDIT (last edit I hope):
It's working, solved leaving "autocopy-context-menu-quot1" key value empty and using (Search for: \") in "autocopy-context-menu-searchfor" key value.
Best regards again...
PS: how hardy is write in English to me, sorry my misspellings please!

Thanks for your catch. In the final release I corrected this issue manually. In the next versions will be special note for translators.

Serbian (sr) localization has been released.
Hi
Spanish [es-MX] updated...
@teo:
I have another video showing a little issue when copying some text with bullets (like the list of the Auto Copy 2 on AMO, "About this add-on" section) - (the text is not copied), do you want to see it?
Also, please change the target address of the "Contribute" button (in the new installed add-on page), delete the "/pl/" part, because that gives the user to the Polish page of Auto Copy 2 on AMO (best without any language reference, so the page will be redirected automatically to the right language for each user)
Maybe must be:
CODE
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/autocopy-2/?src=ss

Hi teo
Did you just change the string
"Copy Plain Text 2 extension have to be installed and enable for this feature to work." in the file autocopy.properties to:
"Copy Plain Text 2 extension have to be installed for this feature to work.\n\nCopy Plain Text 2 isn't installed. Do you want to install it now?"?
It looks like a regression.
When will a user see the new string "Incorrect URL form"?

It was a momentary lapse. Should be "Copy Plain Text 2 extension have to be installed and enable for this feature to work."
QUOTE (Joergen @ Oct 5 2012, 13:23)

When will a user see the new string "Incorrect URL form"
This info is displayed when you copy e.g. text and using "Open in new tab" option from context menu . This feature working only if copied string is URI address beginning with https://, http://, ftp://, file://, and www. When copied string not start with these prefixes, is displayed alert "Incorrect URL form". When I was uploaded add-on to BabelZilla, this functionality was under development, so can not working properly. Now all is OK, and I'm waiting for translations.

Hi Teo
The Danish locale has been updated.
There is a problem with autocopy.dtd <!ENTITY pref.autocopyBlacklistGroupPlaceholder "<insert domain name>">. I think BabelZilla is converting it to "<insert domain name>".
You might have to fix this manually before you release the next version.
