I'm trying to localize TalkBack's interface (it-IT) translating the string in
"talkback-l10n.ini", but I have a problem with a string in step 3 of 3 of the
wizard; I'm using the file taken from Thunderbird's installation, which seems to
be the most updated.
The string than I can't translate is "You may optionally enter your email
address and a description of what was happening when the agent was activated."

The only variable with that string is "wizard3Text4.label", but seems also to be
ignored.

In the last part I find the variables used by this step of the wizard
(Wiz2DescribeDisable, Wiz2NextStep, Wiz2DescribeActivation), but the one I need
seems to be missing.

We really need a fully localizable Talkback, so that the average user
understands what we are doing and does not think it is "MS-Spyware".

yup.
Shipping such product cannot be done with "part in english - we're sorry"

[Benjamin Smedberg]

Talkback is not open-source and AFAICT is not actively developed by the
commercial vendor. We're still examining license issues even with
publicly-available localizations of talkback-l10n.ini   It is unlikely that
code-level issues with talkback are going to be fixed any time soon.

Removing the blocking request therefore.

Using the resourceHacker I found out that the missing variable is
Wiz2OptionalInformation. Adding this into talkback-l10n.ini with the translated
string above replaced the english string.
