I was checking out the stats for this extension on the Firefox Add-ons store and noticed that we have some international users. I thought it'd be nice if they could use this extension in their native language. If anyone is fluent (or at least semi-fluent) in a language other than English, I'd greatly appreciate your help with translations.
The following languages appear in the Firefox stats, so they are a good place to start:
French (fr)
German (de)
Polish (pl)
Russian (ru)
Spanish (es)
Turkish (tr)
To add a new language, create a new directory under the _locales directory with the locale code as the name (e.g. fr for French, de for German, etc). Then, copy the messages.json file from the en directory and modify the message values with the correct translation. For example, if you were creating a French translation, your new file would be located at _locales/fr/messages.json. You can remove the description fields from this new file as they are not needed.
