A WebExtension frontend for the Ouinet HTTP Settings API, and the CENO update page.
We use web-ext for development.
Clone the repository:
git clone git@gitlab.com:censorship-no/ceno-ext-settings.git
CD into the folder and run:
npm install -g npm@8.5.5
Run web-ext run to test in a temporary profile on desktop (with live reload!), and web-ext run --target=firefox-android for same on mobile (more details and debugging instructions at upstream docs).
Please note that, in Desktop Firefox >= 60, the CENO Extension automatically changes the browser's proxies while enabled. In a different browser, you will need to change proxy settings manually.
To ship an updated version, update the git submodule in https://github.com/censorship-no/gecko-dev/tree/ceno/mobile/android/extensions.
I18n of the CENO Extension uses both WebExtension i18n (for JavaScript and manifest) and rugk's Localizer (with minor modifications).
To make a new HTML element/attribute localizable, a camel-case identifier like somethingSomesubpartSomeother is added as the value of the data-i18n or data-i18n-<attribute> attribute, and the string is added to _locales/en/messages.json. See Localizer's documentation for more information. Please note that identifiers in HTML files do not use the __MSG_*__ format in this project.
Although the values of localizable HTML texts and attributes need not be in the HTML file, we choose to keep them to ease reading and testing the HTML file, in spite of the redundancy introduced and the need to keep the JSON and HTML texts in sync.
When adding a new locale, remember to add the _locales/<locale>/messages.json and whatever other files used by the locale to the moz.build file, otherwise they will not be included in CENO Browser builds. Please check the comments in moz.build for more information.
When localizing a string with placeholders in the default language, like this one:
"something": {
"message": "This is a $TEST_STRING$ mentioned in $THIS_FILE$.",
"placeholders": {
"test_string": { "content": "$1" },
"this_file": { "content": "$2"}
}
}
You may reorder them if needed:
"something": {
"message": "Esta cadena se menciona en $THIS_FILE$ y es una $TEST_STRING$."
"placeholders": {
"test_string": { "content": "$1" },
"this_file": { "content": "$2"}
}
}
You can copy the definitions of the placeholders from the original English message entry (some translation tools do this automatically).
