Translation CopyNPaste Finder for Firefox
Ankitkumar Rameshchandra Patel
There are messages in Firefox that we as Localizers want to translate,
but unintentionally we miss them while just copying and pasting from
English after going through compare-locale results on l10n-stage dashboard.
I did try to produce a result with small scripts that can fetch those
messages and display them on the web:
Results here: http://indianoss.sourceforge.net/mozilla/CopyNPasteFinder.php
More details: http://www.ankit644.com/?p=224
I welcome your feedback.
Thanks!

Very nice. Would it be possible to have one for Thunderbird too?

Your welcome! As long as my contributions are helpful I am really happy.
Ankitkumar Rameshchandra Patel
Of course!
I will just need a list of languages where this to be done for Thunderbird.

I would like to see it for Danish.

Hi,
There were some bugs with previous script that I have solved and the
latest results for Firefox are updated.
Jesper, I have setup the Thunderbird comparison for Danish here:

If you're willing to go for "all" again, the list of locales we build
for tb is at
http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/file/default/mail/locales/all-locales.
Thanks, it's great to see folks hacking on tools

Okay, updated for all 52 locales listed there.

Axel, I think we should consider integrating this functionality into
dashboard. I'm sure many people are interested in such feature.
Thoughts?

For anyone who wants to take a look at the code and contribute, here is
the way to pull the source code scripts for (AccesskeyConflictFinder and
CopyNPasteFinder).
git clone git://indianoss.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/indianoss/indianoss

I'm still thinking. I have yet to figure out if I'm happy about a hacky
and possibly misleading UI.
Like, I just tripped over folks translating console.log() the other day.
I've also seen folks that had partially translated strings quite a few
times.
There's also some overlap with the glossary stuff that the french team does.
I don't yet see a clear picture.

We can always make the interface neat, clean and attractive for users.
Also new features could be added, that we think we need.
How about having two different set of pages showing,??
Messages identical to English
as well as
Messages that differs from English
Based on Individual language team's needs they might want to use it.

The irony is that they do have a test to pick up translation of
functions. But that requires reviewing the failures which clearly in
this case they didn't do.
My other concern is always false positives. Axel and I have both been
at the receiving end of revert a translation of 'false' in a
configuration context. Once reverts a Pootle test called 'unchanged'
(which is doing what CopyNPaste is doing) lights up. Without knowing
why something is unchanged the translator will go and change it back again.
So if anything please think a little about the risk of false positives
in these tools. If you can reduce them then it increases the checks
usefulness.

Alexander Ihrig
there is a bug in your script. The script fails, if the entity name is
followed by a line break before the string.
This bug occurs for mail/chrome/messenger/quickFilterBar.dtd
