由於有人在討論區上提議要把 piaip 的 MozLCDB 文件翻成中文，所以把大家翻的放到這邊。

Features of MozLCDB MozLCDB 的功能

MozLCDB is focused to Mozilla Localization. In comparsion to MozillaTranslator, you'll notice that:

• MozLCDB is just a perl script with command line only, no GUI.
  

You can (and you have to) edit all stuff with your favorite editor.

• Targeted for Multiple Product maintaince.
  

That is, you can really localize Mozilla, Firefox, Thunderbird, Netscape, and keep only one instance for same chrome node.

• Works for both CVS and downloaded ZIP language packs
• The stored database is more human readable/editable
• Single locale per database file. Does not support multiple locale (MT does).
  

You have to use multiple database files if you need multiple locale.

• Easily modified if you understand Perl.
  

MozLCDB 主要用於 Mozilla 本地化。相比 MozillaTranslator 來說，你會注意到：

• MozLCDB只是一個使用 command line 的 perl script，沒有 GUI。
  

你可以使用編輯器修改所需的。

• 針對多個產品維護。
  

即是說，當你本地化 Mozilla，Firefox，Thunderbird，Netscape 並遇到相同 chrome node 時，只需使用同一個實體。

• 能於 CVS 和 ZIP 語言包下工作
• 儲存 database 的格式為人類可讀，可寫。
• 每個 database 檔只支援一個 locale。不支援多個 locale (MT可以)。
  

假如你需要製作多個 locale，你要使用多個 database 檔。

• 假如你了解 Perl 語言，這支程式可是相當容易修改。
