Extension:Firefox toolbar

This page is meant to coordinate the translation efforts for the Firefox Wikipedia Extension developed by User:Bananeweizen. If you want to help in translation, please add your language to the following list. Create a new sub page for your language and grab the contents of the English translation. Give it a status (including your signature) which indicates that you are working on the translation so others don't do the same work. When you have finished your translation, please set the status to "finished".

To find out the language code, use the Help->About menu in Firefox and have a look at the version information at the bottom of the dialog. It should look like "de-DE", "en-US" or something like that.

Whenever new strings are needed in more recent versions, they will be added as empty strings to every language and the status field will be reset to indicate that some work is needed for that language. When a new major version of the extension is to be released, all current language strings from the pages below will be copied into that release, so you can expect the first inclusion of other languages than English and German in version 0.6.

General remarks about translation

 * Any string must be UTF-8 encoded.
 * You can not add new special characters through translation. Customizable special characters are planned for the next major version and may require an additional translation file then.

What needs to be translated
The to be translated strings currently consist of three parts:

User interface
All static user interface strings are represented as XML file where every string is encoded as XML entity. A single entry in those files is of the form You can modify anything between the quotation marks.

Strings in code
Strings used directly in the code are given like in a Java properties file. This list includes user interface strings which are build dynamically (like the special characters menu items). A single entry is of the form entry=value with an example like You can modify anything after the equals sign. If you need line breaks in the string, they can be represented as \n.

Wikipedia templates
Language specific Wikipedia templates are given as XML file. They allow to insert language specific templates for stubs, copyright violations, deletion requests (or whatever may be common in your Wikipedia) via menu item. They are defined in an XML file and have the form A (non real word) example for English would be
 * You may add as many templates as you want by adding more ... tags in between the tags.
 * The templates will be shown in this order as menu items in the templates menu (in 0.5 there is a bug, so they are only shown after the menu for the right mouse key has been shown the first time).
 * The tooltip tag is optional. So you can either leave the text between the tooltip tags empty or you complete remove the tooltip tags.
 * If the label is set to "-" (a minus sign, without the quotation marks) then a menu separator (a gray horizontal line) will be inserted in the menu. So you can group your items. The other tags are ignored in that case.
