Does not seem to work with Thunderbird 7.0.1

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Installed the Add-On
2. Opened Address-Book
3. Clicked on Dubletten -> Dubletten suchen und entfernen

What is the expected output? 
- It finds some duplicates

What do you see instead?

Error message:
XML-Verarbeitungsfehler: Nicht definierte Entität
Adresse: chrome://duplicatecontactsmanager/content/duplicateEntriesWindow.xul
Zeile Nr. 30, Spalte 4:         <checkbox id="autoremove" 
label="&handleDuplicates.removeWithoutAsking;"/>
------------------------^

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.8 on Thunderbird 7.0.1

I found the issue. There is a translation missing in the file 
"locale\de-DE\duplicateContactsManager.dtd" for the label 
"removeWithoutAsking". When this translation is added, it seems to work.

At me, the problem occurs on german Windows XP for DCM 0.8.1 on TB 7.0.1.

I have the very same problem like above. This it says:

XML-Verarbeitungsfehler: Nicht definierte Entität

Zeile Nr. 30, Spalte 4:         <checkbox id="autoremove"

I have the same problem using Thunderbird v8.0 with DCM v0.8.1 on Mac OS X 
10.6.8 (all with German locale!)
Any ideas, how I can fix the problem? I cannot find the file 
duplicateContactsManager.dtd anywhere...
Ideas?

on my mac the analogue path 
(/Users/"username"/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default/extensions/) 
only gives me the xpi, but no folder 
({b4447f60-db9c-11da-a94d-0800200c9a66}.xpi)...
can I somehow take a look, what this file contains and edit the .dtd from 
within?

Ok, I helped myself and could find a work around for this problem.
I unpacked the xpi (using Ez7z on Mac OS X, but any other unpacker should also 
work), found the .dtd file, opened it with text-edit, added a line called
<!ENTITY handleDuplicates.removeWithoutAsking   "Entfernen ohne zu fragen">
then I repacked the whole thing (by marking all the files that were in the .xpi 
before incl. the edited .dtd file using the system-archiving tool (right-click 
--> compress/make archive/whatever)) and renamed the resulting .zip in .xpi. 
Then I went to Thunderbird/AddOns and installed the new file -> tada! it works!

Comment 8 also works for the windows version. Tried it myself and now 
everything is working! So it is only a single line, to be included in the 
german localisation.

Comment 8 doesn't seem to work on TB 8.0 and above. Packed the thing into a 
*.zip-file using 7zip. Addon manager says, that the new xpi file seems to be 
corrupt, and installation aborts. Any other workarounds?

I have TB version 9.0 and it still works... anyway, the google contacs managing 
system works much better than this extension, so in case you have a google 
account synced with TB (via Google contacs extension) you can do everything 
online much easier.
still I would wish for future version of this great extension that this bug is 
fixed, cause I also have adressbooks in TB not synced with google...

Ok, now I tried everything:

finding out, where the file is being installed, and editing it there:

-Went to...
c:\documents and settings\[Username]\Appdata\Profiles\[profile id]\extensions\

-identified and unpacked the file:
{b4447f60-db9c-11da-a94d-0800200c9a66}.xpi

-went to...
\locale\de-DE in the unpacked folder

-edited the *.dtd file as mentioned in comment 8

-if I re-pack the folder usind 7zip into a *.zip and rename it to *.xpi, 
Thunderbird deletes it at the next start without any comment

-if I don't re-pack it, leaving it there as a folder, (previously deleting the 
original *.xpi) Thunderbird doesn't delete the folder at start, but deacitvates 
DuplicateContactsManager in it's addons list (addon-manager).

So, what else can be done to workaround???

You did not mention, that you went to the add-on manager and reinstalled the 
new xpi, or was that in your previous post?

Is this bug limited just to the German locale? (if yes, it would be lovely to note so in its title)
