BabelZilla[1] allows translating Firefox extensions in a very convenient
way.
The problem is that once a translator is registered as the main translator
for an extensions nobody can translate or suggest strings to this
extension without his permission.

Narro[2] is the official translation tool for Mozilla's projects
(Firefox/Thunderbird/etc.), this tool has many disadvantages but he can do
the work.

I don't know if we should use these tools but we can definitely learn a
thing or two from them.

Please take into account that Virtaal is unable to handle such mission, some
of the information is lost along the way.
