Change NoScript language

Post by mnahje »

I used german NS, but some time ago I switched to enUS FF because of the nightlies. Now for some time NS was still german but (maybe I changed something in about:config, don't know anymore) some time ago it switched to english.
The problem is, that I think the english version is worse than the german version for one simple fact, in the german version it looks like this:
- website.com temporär zulassen
- website.com immer zulassen
while in english it looks like this:
- temporarily allow website.com
- allow website.com
As you can see, in german each website is directly at the beginning of the line and you can quickly look through the whole list without any effort, while in the english version you have to constanly change view left/right a bit and find the beginning of the correct word - makes it a lot lot less userfriendly.

Can I somehow switch back to the german NS UI or do I have to patch NS every time it updates myself? Or maybe have a "fast read" option that switches to "website.com (temporarily allow/ allow)"?

Thought it might be interesting to see how it looked:

(Right-click, View Image, if need be.)
Image

To me, wouldn't matter if the name was on the left or on the right.
(Now the NoScript menu items, bottom to top [as it is in SeaMonkey], or top to bottom [as it is in FF] - that would certainly bother me.)


Anyhow, the only way I would know to do it is the hackish way.

Edit the .xpi, \chrome\noscript.jar
Rename \locale\en-US to \locale\en-US-X
Rename \locale\de to \locale\en-US
Remove the META-INF directory in the .jar

Repack the .jar, then copy it back into noscript.xpi.
Install that modified noscript.xpi

Worked, as you can see (in SeaMonkey).
If you're using FF 38, no signing required, so I'd guess it would work there.
Or you could use one of the methods available to thwart signing in current FF.
And yes, you'd have to do similar for each NoScript update.

Don't know if there is a non-hackish way to do the same?
