Hi,<br>
<br>
I was just wondering: do you plan to make the add-on multilingual,
now or in the future?<br>
<br>
Currently most texts are hard-coded in the XUL files. I don't know
much about Firefox add-on development, but AFAIK you should use
entities for all texts to be able to translate it. This is already
done for a few strings, but not for all.<br>
<br>
For example, in preferences.xul [1], there are references (like
‘buttonlabelextra1="&https-everywhere.prefs.disable_all;"’) to
entities defined in https-everywhere.dtd [2]. If this approach is
consistently used for all strings, it should be easy add more
languages to the add-on.<br>
<br>
I can create a Dutch translation if you want. :)<br>
