Sorry. I meant to say that I just finished localizing 0.31.a, not
0.30a - I downloaded it from CVS and and compiled it yesterday night, so
I have the latest resources.

Here are the problems that I find in 0.31a:
Fire Preferences:
1. The names of the preference panes (in the main Preferences window,
and the title bars after clicking) are in English. [Show All,
Appearance, Buddy List, Chat Windows, Profile, General, New Messages,
Notifications, Profanity, Sound and Updates] - The category names,
however, are translated.
2. Appearance: Icelandic resources not loaded.
3. Profile: Icelandic resources not loaded.
4. Updates: The "software is up-to-date" message, when checking for
updates, is in English.
File menu:
5. Clicking an MSN user and choosing "Send file to a user" from the File
menu brings up a dialog saying the service does not support sending
files. That message is in English. However, the title (Information) and
the button (OK) are translated.
6. Show Previous Conversations: The tool tips for the tool bar items are
in English.
Accounts menu:
7. Edit Accounts: The account window appears: The tool tips for adding,
editing, removing and (dis)connecting accounts are in English [tool tip
for customizing toolbar is in Icelandic]
Chat windows:
8. Tool tips in English for: Buddy Controls, Encrypting or Signing
Messages.
9. When customizing the toolbar, the following toolbar items are in
English: Buddy Controls, Security, Mute, Show/Hide Chat List, Smileys,
Fonts
Fire Console (the following messages appear in English):
10. AIM/toc Disconnected reason 24-User disconnected
11. AIM/toc You are now officially online.
12. AIM/toc Connected.
13. AIM/toc 4 buddies sent to the server.
14. ... has logged off
Fire Dock Menu:
15. [#] accounts online [in English]
15.1. Accounts online: [name of account]: "Edit Account" is in English.
16. [#] buddies [in English]
17. Available ---> this doesn't make sense. It uses the same entry in
the Localizable.strings as the status "Available" - shouldn't this menu
item be "Set Status"?
Buddy List window:
18. Contexual Menu: Open IM Window, Chat History.
19. Tool tips for View and Status are in English
20. Customizing Toolbar: Status, Logs.
Away Message window:
21. Pop up menu item: Idle, Custom.
Fire menu:
22. Services: Fire: Add Buddy, Go To Chatroom, Send Instant Message.
That's it folks, I think! :-)
I would have liked to try out another localization just to make sure
some of these problems aren't because of a mistake I made ... but none
of the localizations in the CVS have been updated.
Regards,
Heimir Freyr.
