Setting language for NoScript

[elipsett]

Is there any way to set the language used by the NoScript click menu? Or is this automatically set to whatever FireFox itself is using?

If there is a localized translation available for NS, then it will inherit from the interface language to use it. Otherwise, it will default to English.

OK, that's what I figured, judging from what happens.
Thanks for the confirmation.

No way to override it and force a different language?

For curiosity only, I found these in the NS Extension folder inside the Fx Profile Folder:

Components\noscriptService.js, search "en-us" and found only a short way down from the top: ("content/en-US")

Components\noscript.jar, lots of matches for various languages, but this looked interesting:

Code: Select all

<stringbundle id="about-strings" src="chrome://noscript/locale/about.properties"/><stringbundle id="about-stringsFB" src="chrome://noscript/content/en-US/about.properties"/>

But I personally wouldn't mess with any of this without a green light from Giorgio!!!!! ... curiosity only. Perhaps there is a way to override.

Giorgio?

I gather you're running a US-EN system? So it is impossible to tell if this is the default, the override setting, or something That Must Not Be Touched... I'll wait for a pronouncement from above.

Thanks!

[Tom T.]

Yes, I am. My "question" is whether this could be overwritten manually. But certainly it might be

something That Must Not Be Touched...

I'll wait for a pronouncement from above.

Excellent idea!

You can set the general.useragent.locale about:config preference to your preferred locale, but it will change also the browser's language if available.

Thank you, Giorgio.
Not the best solution, but a very definite answer!

Well Giorgio beat me to it, so make the best of the solution and good luck.
