* '''THE BUG''' - [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403215 Bug 403215 – Python script that will help create from a translated locale a regional build]
* <strike>'''THE BUG''' - [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399014 Bug 399014 – we need an l10n-merge tool]</strike>
== How to Add to Tool ==
For those wondering how they can pick this project up and run with it, please read the following tips:
<br />
The code is broken into three main components
*'''callback()''' is where you would add your new functionality and subsequently update the "instring" variable before closing the localization file. This method is the most important part of the program and is essentially the core from which all localization logic is derived from. I added much in-code documentation to guide newcomers along the way.
*'''translate() is where you tell the program what files to look for and subsequently what action Parser.py (the class supplied by Axel) should take, such as use a DTD Parser or use a Properties parser and so on...
*'''process()''' contains the file iteration logic whereby the program scans every file in every directory. There is potential for optomization here and Dynamis (Tomoya Asai, a Mozilla employee from Japan) can definately help steer you in the right direction as this method was inspired from reading the logic in Dynamis' l10n-merge script.
*'''main()''' is where you would alter the program's main interface, adding UI code in here is a sure possibility.
*'''The #l10n IRC Channel on Moznet''' has a wealth of people who are knowledgable in this area and can provide much information if asked
