hard coded strings in seamonkey?

[Tsahi Asher]

hi,
i noticed that the Roaming User category in the prefs, and the Report
Broken web site in the Help menu, are not translated in the language
pack i'm working on (and will be releasing shortly). are these strings
hard coded?

Tsahi,

No, these strings are localizable.
Check your 'installed-chrome.txt' file. Here is the problem IMO.
This line should be like :
locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/ab-CD.jar!/locale/ab-CD/sroaming/
and not like :
locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/sroaming.jar!/locale/ab-CD/sroaming/
Same thing for reporter

so should i add the content of sroaming.jar and and reporter.jar to my
ab-CD.jar, and translate them?

[Cédric Corazza]

Yes,
you could have a look at our .xpi, if it can help :

Not just this, if you instruct sroaming and reporter to look into
ab-CD.jar for their locales, it would also be a good idea to actually
put their locales into ab-CD.jar. :-) IOW, you must extract
locale/en-US/sroaming/* and locale/en-US/reporter/* in the same
directory structure than en-US.jar. Alternatively, if you use Mozilla
Translator, you may merge the locales in a "expanded" en-US.jar.

For that, I copy all JARs into the MT directory for the product and
version I'm working on (in this case ~/MT/seamonkey/1.0, as no changes
should exist between 1.0 and 1.0.1) and run a small bash script like this:

--Start of File--
#!/bin/sh

EXTRAS="chatzilla
inspector
reporter
sroaming
venkman"

echo "This script must be run in the directory where en-US.jar and the
JAR: $EXTRAS are to be found"

mkdir tmp
cd tmp
unzip -q ../en-US.jar
mv -f ../en-US.jar ../en-US.old

for extra in $EXTRAS
do
echo "- Processing $extra"
unzip -q ../${extra}.jar locale/en-US/${extra}/*
done

echo "Recreating en-US.jar"
zip -q -D -r ../en-US.jar *
cd ..
rm -rf tmp

--End of File--

It's not more than a "commodity", but it saves quite a few keystrokes. :-)

[Cédric Corazza]

Yes Ricardo,
that's another option. We chose to put those files in ab-CD.jar for
convenience, but what you proposed should work too.

what are the files under fr-FR.jar!locale/fr/reporter? i see other files
under locale/fr-Fr/reporter.

[Cédric Corazza]

Our locale in Firefox changed from fr-FR to fr only. That way, both
Chrome paths are handled. It's the same for inspector, I believe.
Frankly, I'm not sure this is useful, but I'm not the one who did that.
I will search for information about that and tell you.
