An add-on for BlueGriffon localizers

This article is for the people who help us localizing BlueGriffon. I have a Firefox add-on made for you : L10N Checker. It can take two directories, for instance the en-US locale dir and the zh-TW locale dir and compare all dtd and properties file inside. It reports missing files on both ends, duplicate entries. It can report if a BOM marker is present in a file and if an entity is unchanged between the reference file and your localization, potentially indicating you still have some thing to translate.

Yes, I know Mozilla has tools like compare-locales and such. But these are commandline-based and I wanted something simpler giving the same results for the BlueGriffon L10N community.

After installation in Firefox >=5, you'll find the L10N Check men entry under the Tools menu.

Thank you for this! It's nice to know immediately, if I miss any string.

Just small note: it would be more practical, if it's possible to minimize the checker window - it's impossible also to maximize it (now it's just manually spreadable; using W7 and FF8).

Anyway, nice job.

Fx was kind of reserved when I clicked the link: "Firefox prevented this site (bluegriffon) from asking you to install software on your computer."

I clicked "Allow" with vengeance;)
