AW: [wp-polyglots] TinyMCE 3.0 translation functionality

[Andrew Ozz]

The php backend is working fine. What I did is to put manually all TMCE 
strings in a .php file (they aren't that many). That file is then 
included in the gzip script that compresses all TMCE parts and streams 
them to the browser.

Of course this file will have to be maintained if the placeholders for 
the strings change, but that may only happen when a new major version of 
TinyMCE comes out. Since version 3.0 just came out, it will be at least 
a year - year and a half before then.

What I was trying to determine is how useful is the ability to change 
the sizes of the pop-ups in TMCE for different translations. But I think 
I found a way to implement that (will need some help from Nikolay).

The patch is almost ready, I'm just testing with different localizations 
to make sure TMCE behaves properly and doesn't try to load non-existing 
lang.js files.

Cheers,
Andrew
