zhCN:
Code:
"为 MailNotifier 而创建的 DataBroker 应用模块"
Code:
	L.NoMail = '无新邮件'
	L.Mails = ' 封新邮件'
	L.Mail = ' 封新邮件'
zhTW:
Code:
"為 MailNotifier 而創建的 DataBroker 應用模組"
Code:
	L.NoMail = '無新郵件'
	L.Mails = ' 封新郵件'
	L.Mail = ' 封新郵件'
Done!

P.S. In China, one mail and two mails are the same in writing

Lol, I noticed. Does chinese distinguish singular and plural? Well, I guess I'll just have to set the strings twice... Thank you for the quick answer!

we don't distinguish singular and plural.

here's a way to use only one string:
Code:
mail(s)
but not user-friendly, right?

Icon?

Is this meant not to have one? I'm using it right now with Button Bin and as I have no mail, it's kinda completely phantom.

Never used Button Bin in my life, so I don't understand your question. Can you explain it better, please?

Button Bin is one of many LibDataBroker display modules that can display datafeed objects such as the one you created here. Theorhetically, any LDB-Based Display (like Button Bin, Fortress, Carousel, DockingStation or whatever you're using) should be able to display an LDB based datafeed fully, but sometimes certain things in the coding of a given datafeed may not jive well with the way some display modules interpret the code.

An LDB display object usually has at least three elements:

1) A tooltip (usually seen on mouseover)
2) Text
3) An Icon.

The Tooltip of course gives the in-depth information, while the Text might display pertinent information about whatever the object is monitoring. And The Icon of course is partly for decoration, but it may also be used to indicate something by changing color or animating or whatever.

Some very stripped-down LDB display objects lack an Icon. I'm curious if that's intentional in this case.

I'd like to run your datafeed as an Icon only, but it seems to lack an icon- at least when I try to display it through Button Bin, the tooltip is there when I mouse over the apparently empty area, but no icon. As I see in the screenshot that it has an icon, I'm assuming there's something in the way that it's coded that prevents Button Bin from displaying it properly.

It's possible that due to this it may not display properly in other LDB-based display modules either.

Oh, I just wanted to know when the icon was hidden. Well, my guess is that ButtonBin, like most displays do, forget that feed arguments (the icon is an example) may not be provided at startup, but changed depending of the circumstances.
So, it assumes that MailNotifier has no icon, and doesn't track to see if the icon is going to be provided.

I will look into it.

P.S: No, it's not intentional

I've tested MailNotifier Launcher with ButtonBin and it's working like expected. Don't know why the icon isn't showing for you...

The LDB icon and the minimap button for MailNotifier are both being shown. I suspect the intent of MailNotifier Launcher is to hide the minimap button of MailNotifier. Is this correct?

No, MailNotifier Launcher does not hide the Minimap Mail Button.
