Is one of those languages English? If so, then you can help translate ScribeFire into your language!

Initial work has been completed on internationalizing ScribeFire for Chrome and ScribeFire Next for Firefox – this internationalization means that ScribeFire can now easily be translated into multiple languages.

If you’d like to help, “claim” your language in the comments and then download this text file. The official localization instructions are available from Google here, but the basic idea is that wherever you see something like

  • “message” : “I want Taco Bell.”

you translate it into your language like so:

  • “message” : “Yo quiero Taco Bell.”

Once you’ve translated as many sections as you can, e-mail your translated file to chris@scribefire.com so it can be included in the next update to ScribeFire. The global blogging community thanks you!

The only major change in this version is that if you are running Google Chrome 6.0 (or newer), you can now upload images to WordPress and other Metaweblog-API blogs. Upload your images by clicking the image button in the toolbar, and then either click the “Select File” button to choose an image, or drag and drop an image onto the “Select File” button.

Support for uploading images to Blogger and Posterous is coming as well, but I wanted to get this first iteration into your hands to get your feedback.

Install ScribeFire 1.3.1.0 from the Google Chrome Extensions Gallery
