[HTTPS-Everywhere] Translations?

[Jeroen van der Gun]

Hi,

I was just wondering: do you plan to make the add-on multilingual, now
or in the future?

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.

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.

I can create a Dutch translation if you want. :)
