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。

MozLCDB: What is it? 什麼是 MozLCDB 呢？

MozLCDB is a tool made for localization of various Mozilla (Gecko) based products. It is designed to resolve issues introduced since Mozilla Firefox 1.0 branch, and a replacement for MozillaTranslator.

MozLCDB 是為了眾多基於 Mozilla (Gecko) 產品的本地化而設計的工具。它是為了解決由 Mozilla Firefox 1.0 產生的問題，也是 MozillaTranslator 的替代品。

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。
