I have thought about a the possibility to translate extensions "inline".
The idea is that you go into a "extension translation mode", so when you
mouse is hovering over a text area, a box will open with a field where
you can type the translation of the selected language.
To do this we could wrap each text field(only in this translation mode)
with a span tag with a mouseover javascript function.
Why would this be cool?
Well, I have helped translating extensions to the danish language. One
of the hardest things translating text fields on a list, is that the
sentences/words are not in their context anymore. So sometimes it can be
hard actually finding what the right translation is, without taking the
extension for a spin (several times).
So if you could translate the extension directly when using it, I think
it could make it a lot easier finding the best translations.
Well, that's just my thoughts...
