14 If you want to translate the Uploadr into another language, there
15 are several files that you'll need to edit. To customize the
16 Flickr-specific strings, you'll need to edit these files:
17
18 /MacUploadr.app/Contents/Resources/chrome/locale/en-US/main.dtd
19 /MacUploadr.app/Contents/Resources/chrome/locale/en-US/main.properties
20
21 for an example, see the korean versions:
22
23 /MacUploadr.app/Contents/Resources/chrome/locale/ko-kr/main.dtd
24 /MacUploadr.app/Contents/Resources/chrome/locale/ko-kr/main.properties
25

28 XULRunner also contains some non-flickr-specific strings which need
29 translating. The english versions can be found here:
30
31 /xulrunner_locales/locale/en-US/
32
33 However, not all files require translation. The only ones currently
34 used by Uploadr are in the language specific directories, for
35 example:
36
37 /xulrunner_locales/locale/ko-kr/
38
39 To avoid having to actually translate these strings, you can
40 probably find the same strings inn releases of Firefox 2,
41 assuming it's available in your language. You can check that on
42 this page:

44 http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

48 After translating all of these files, post a link to them in the
49 Flickr Uploadr group to have these checked into SVN:

54 At this time, we're not making final builds available in other
55 locales, but this may change in the near future if we get
56 interest.
