Just register in babelzilla and start translating. When you are finished you will be automatically notified if any of your translated extensions have locale changes.

Who I am?

My name is Mark D.B.D and I wrote this extension after reading the post Tools to improve your Reader experience at the official Google Reader Blog. I notice Firefox hasn't any extension for this great google service so I began to work on it. You can find more about me at http://www.markdbd.com
