Hi, I wanna ask the CometBird developers if they could bring the en-US.xpi language file for the CometBird 3.6 web browser’s interface. Mozilla brings several language packs but the en-US is not listed because, obviously, it’s the “mother” language, so there’s happen no need to done such thing.
However, I have installed the es-AR [Spanish (Argentina)] locale version of CometBird in my computer and when I need to take some screenshots from CometBird I have to download the en-US locale version and overinstall the previously installed es-AR locale, every time. I do this because, otherwise, I’ll be posting screenshots here, at CometForums, with the es-AR interface of CometBird, and a lot of people around the world ain’t gonna no learn Spanish just because of these snaps. :lol: :lol: :lol: So, it’ll be so handy to me to have the two language packs installed. This way I’ll swap between these so much quickly.
So, what’s stopping you from installing the es-AR.xpi language pack and switching between English and Spanish from the general.useragent.locale option?
Well, people HAVE been doing this generally – taking screenshots in their chosen languages for BitComet, and we’ve all generally coped with it without too much problem so far. I don’t speak, say, Arabic or Polish either, but it’s usually not necessary that we do. We can figure it out, or if we can’t, we can ask. So generally it’s probably not necessary to switch languages to do a screenshot most of the time.
I guess he speaks mainly about screenshots meant to help other users.
That’s right. I was speaking about posting screenshots here, at CometForums, as I have done a couple of times. In part, I need the en-US.xpi language file because of a thing you said a time ago:
It contains **screenshots **of the dialog boxes and menus described (which may come in handy for people that have difficulties translating mentally, written instructions into 2D images). And trust me, you wouldn’t believe how many of those there are, out there.
However…

…I will follow kluelos’ words — After all, he’s probably quite right about the unnecessary step to switch languages just for capturing screenshots most of the time.
Well, my question remains. If you really want to be thorough, what is stopping you from installing the es-AR.xpi language pack in the English version and then switching between English and Spanish?
I have a feeling about the es-AR language pack. I’m not quite sure how to explain it, but I feel it’s somehow outdated and it contains some errors, typos and misinterpretations that are not in the final es-AR “packaging” (I mean, the installer file with the whole web browser).
That’s why I prefer to have the whole CometBird es-AR web browser plus the en-US language pack.
