Firefox 3 and Languages

Been working on the back-end of all my web sites again in earnest lately - largely in the vein of translations and multilingual compatibility. At the same time I´m now using the Release Candidate 2 of Firefox 3 as my primary browser and loving every minute of it!

The language thing is fascinating and frustrating at the same time. Especially Microsoft´s non-standard character sets that constantly cause problems when people try to copy and paste things. But, despite that, it´s going well and especially the french translations are well over 1000 words and phrases now.

I´ve also souped up the code for a lot of the modules and everything is running faster and more efficiently.

As for testing all this - I´m using the latest build of Firefox 3 which is an absolute dream - it´s much faster and uses far less memory then the previous FF which was already loads better then Internet Exploder. FF´s speed is not on par with Opera and with all it´s extensions it´s a dream to work with now.

I wholeheartedly encourage anyone in the mood to give it a try - you won´t be disappointed!
