Build: 2000021208 Win32 Tool: MozillaTranslator v2 While doing localization work in Swedish I've noticed a couple of unlocalizable strings missing in the .dtd and .properties files: 1. Dialogs and forms not l10n-proof: Start Mozilla while not connected to the Internet: Dialogbox shows : "www.mozilla.org could not be found...". The title of the dialog is "Alert" and can't be localized. (This seems to be general for the "Alert" messages) 2. Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks->...select a bookmark...->delete bookmark Dialog shows: "Delete the selected bookmark(s)". This one (nor the title: "Confirm")can't be localized. 3. Tasks->Addressbook->New Card Title of the form "New Card for" can't be localized. 4. Search->Search the Internet In the lower search result frame "Netscape - Search" is shown, this one can't be localized. 5. Tasks->Composer The second toolbar: "Title" and "Author" can't be localized. The third toolbar:"B"(Bold),"U"(Underscore),"I"(Italic) can't be localized. 6. Tasks->"Update Notifications" can't be localized. 7. New->Message->Alternative->Save Copy->"Local folders" can't be localized, not the subfolders either i.e: "Trash", "Sent", "Drafts", "Templates", "Unsent Messages" 8. These document status messages (while surfing the Internet) can't be localized: "Transferring data from..." and "Resolving host...". /Fredrik Sundberg

After fiddling around with the final M14 release I found some additional goddies. I post them here cause this is a placeholder (?) for non-localizable strings. Composer: 1. New->Message: Title: "Compose (no subject)" can't be localized. 2. New->Message: status message displays: "Document: Done" and can't be localized. Prefs: 3. Composer--| |--Editing (preftree): "Key Mappings" can't be localized. Addressbook: 4. New->Addresscard: Add To: "Personal Address book" can't be localized. This default personal address book should be made localizable. 5. Edit->Edit Card...:Title of the form is "Card for XXXX XXXX", this can't be localized. 6. New->Address book: Title says "New Address Book" and can't be localized. Mail&News: 7. Tasks->Mail...(in Mail choose)...Edit->Account Settings: "Local Folders" can't be localized. 8. Tasks->Mail...(in Mail choose)...Edit->Account Settings: "Outgoing (SMTP) Server" can't be localized. 9. Tasks->Mail...(in Mail choose)...Edit->Account Settings: if you have created a mail account using the Wizard, your mail account has two preference tabs: Copies and Folders: "Place a Copy in: Sent/Drafts/Inbox etc... on xxxxxx(your account name)". "Sent/Drafts etc on xxxxx" can't be localized. Navigator: 12. Character Sets can't be localized. The Character Sets menues in the other components (Composer, Messenger) can be localized though. /Fredrik

Since the new sidebar tabs were introduced a week or so ago, they can't no longer be translated. We're talking about the default tabs here: "What's related", "Search", "Tinderbox" (well I don't mind about this one) and "Bookmarks". This is a quite essential requisite for a good localization.

Sidebar is localizable, although server-side. Other bugs are L12y, for fix post beta1. Reassinging L12y to rchen

I think all items are OK now. The ones that are still a localization problem are covered by other bugs. The one that is left is this one: Search->Search the Internet In the lower search result frame "Mozilla - Search" is shown, this one can't be localized.
M16 has been out for a while now, these bugs target milestones need to be updated.
The "Alert" , "Confirm" , "Prompt" , "Username and Password", "Password" , "Select" dialog problem are hard coded string in mozilla/xpfe/appshell/src/nsWebShellWindow.cpp Someone need to externalize them into String Bundle.
