## 2. The installer application
The installer application and script has already been developed to a stable point. File concerns with [issue 61](/classilla/tenfourfox/issues/61).

Rename your installer application with the correct language and version, e.g., `TFF-24-langpack-(your language).app` or the like so that people can see which exact version of 10.4Fx it is for, and which language the browser is changed to. Strings between minor versions of the browser (24.0.0->24.0.1, 38.0->38.2, etc.) are usually frozen, so the same installer app can be used; however, installers cannot work between major versions (for example, an installer for 17 cannot be used for 24).

Always use the original (!) manifest files from the TenFourFox version you want to translate. _Never copy them from the Intel version or any other version of the installer app_, or otherwise you will run into trouble.

## 7. Localization strings taken from Intel Firefox
The localization strings are located within two folder trees within the TenFourFox application package: `Contents/Resources/Chrome/`(language) and `Contents/Resources/browser/chrome`/(language). Have a look at the `en-US` folders in 10.4F first. You will need some of the files and strings inside later. The installer script copies your language folder tree from the installer app to 10.4Fx, so that the browser will have the folders for `en-US (inactive)` and `(your language) (active)` in the end.

1. Download the corresponding Intel version of Firefox and get the two `omni.ja` files from its application contents folder (Firefox uses a compressed jar format, while TenFourFox doesn't). Rename to `omni.zip`. Omnijars have a special zip format that Mac OS X itself might be unable to decompress. You can use the application `GUItar` for that.
