Setting language for NoScript

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!

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.
