595817 - Migrate toolkit&browser from .dtd/.properties to l20n

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Zibi Braniecki [:zbraniecki][:gandalf]]

Initially, we need to create a set of tools for migrating XUL/JS/XBL code from old architecture to the new one.

It requires tools for automating as much of the migration as possible and regression tests. It will also require a lot of hand work.

Attachment: beta 4 migration for the firefox main window

this patch migrates firefox 4.0beta4 (rev 7c19fb706708) to l20n. I used it for performance measurements

silme (http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n/silme) and silme-apps (http://hg.mozilla.org/users/zbraniecki_mozilla.com/silme-apps/) gained a lot of features for L20n/J20n conversion and testing.

In particular, regression testing is being done via:
 - dtd -> inline
 - l20n -> inline
 - compare two inlines.

Seven years later, we're making another attempt to refactor our l10n layer.

The new tracking bug is bug 1365426 and I'll mark the previous effort as "INCOMPLETE".
