some of you may have noticed i'm making a pt-br translation to MP!L.

but, sometimes it needs to be updated, so I was wondering if someone could create a script which could check a parameter (the 'version' in this case) and download the new file if the old isnt up-to-date

is it possible??

aren't translation files distributed with MP!L itself? Where would you be checking for updates?

Yes, they will be updated, but contact Patchou about your translation fixes. Otherwise they will not be noticed. An update will be here very very very soon btw I can tell you that .

but my translation wont be distributed with the setup...Patchou dont want to add regional languages (pt-BR is one of them), so users need to download byt themselves...

it'd be nice if a script could, at least, warn them when a newer version is out

Yeah, but where is the translation stored? Is there a translations database, or is it stored in the scripts database, or as an attachment in the forums, or on your own file server?

But wouldn't that be a waste for having a script that checks for updates for only one translation. If you decide to include the ability to check for multiple translations then you would need a centralized server to store all of them in.

i'm thinking about something ^^

it might be interesting doing a script whose behavior is quite like the Extension panel in Firefox.

So it would work both for unofficial languages and scripts which haven't auto-update feature.

In that case you might want to work together with [Release] Script Updates : View and install new scripts from www.msgpluslive.net.

It sounds like a cool idea to me. Maybe I could arrange some stuff, like hosting translations not included in setup somewhere on the msgpluslive.net server so it will be more reliable.

Something that automatically notifies you about scripts and translations updates could be awesome when it's done right.
