    Hello - just echoing many other comments. This is a very useful extension for those of us who work in multiple languages in Thunderbird. Also a plea to have in updated to Thunderbird 3.x. I “hacked” the xpi file to make it pass the version compatibility test, but unfortunately the Options button is greyed out. Sigh. I am sure there would be many, many of us who would be grateful to have some more work done of this extension. If you had a “tip jar”, I’d gladly contribute.
    
    Regards,
    Tinshed

    This is one of the most useful plug-ins for Thunderbird.
    
    It would be great to be able to keep it with the newest TB versions.
    
    Many many thanks

    Thanks for this great extension!
    
    I miss it every day since I switched to TB3. Hope you can make it compatible.
    
    Thanks again!

    Hello ..
    For those missing this great extension working in TB 3 I’ve just modified file install.rdf as follows:
    
    Original: <em:maxVersion>3.0a1</em:maxVersion>
    Modified:<em:maxVersion>3.0</em:maxVersion>
    
    When using Windows XP you may find this file here:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<your_user_id>\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\default\<your_profile_name>.slt\extensions\dictionary-switcher-tb@design-noir.de
    
    From some brief testing I’ve done it seems Dictionary Switcher works without problems.
    
    Anyway… try at your own risk but don’t forget to backup before modify !

    Hello again …
    It may be necessary to change also the file extensions.rdf located here:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<your_user_id>\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\default\<your_profile_name>.slt
    Search it for the Dictionary Switcher id that you may found in the install.rdf.
    It is: {3550f703-e582-4d05-9a08-453d09bdfdc6}
    Then modify the line:
    NS1:maxVersion=“3.0a1” with NS1:maxVersion=“3.0”.
    Once again try at your own risk but don’t forget to backup before modify !

    To have a small list of dictionaries to choose from, the following has been suggested by Kristian:

    this.list = ’de_DE,en_GB’;
    this.list = this.list.value.toString().split(’,’);

    However, this did not work for me. What did work is:
    
    this.list.value = ’de_DE,en_GB’;
    this.list = this.list.value.toString().split(’,’);
    
    Note that I added “value” to the first line.
    
    It would be great if this would become a feature, accessible under the properties of this Add-on.

    Hi,
    The switch Is great !
    
    However using Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 beware for update to Dictionary Swich 1.1.4 - You will not see it working. You will need to uninstall it, and then install version 1.1.3
    
    best regards to You Dao !

    Auto-detection doesn’t work. It doesn’t switch between Russian and English.
    I have version 1.1.5 and Thunderbird 3.0.

    Hi,
    
    I am using TB 2.0.0.23 and try to get the autoswitching to work. While in the Firefox-extension the switch from de-DE to en-US works fine I can’t get it to work in Thunderbird.
    
    I have set the pref extensions.dictionary-switcher.autodetect to true but that doesn’t seem to change anything. Are there any other requirements to get this feature to work?
89. ARF wrote on March 15, 2010 11:41 AM GMT (reply):
    I particularly like the auto-detection feature. There is however one improvement I can see: take an initial guess after the e.g. first recipient of a message is completed. The TLD should give a good indication of the language:
    
    e.g. user@domain.fr is likely to get an email in French…
    
    This should generally get rid of the slight delay of switching directories if the initial directory was wrong and should in most cases avoid the ugly red lines that remain in the subject line even after the language has been switched.

    I really like it.
    But one question: Is there a keyboard short cut to switch the languanges? Stop typing and grabbing the mouse to make 2 clicks eats my time away … (yes its like 50 times a day, thats 2 secs. x 50 = 100 Secs a day, 500 a week etc.)
    I am pretty sure there is one …
    
    Merci.

    Can You please, blease, please support Thunderbird 3.1. It is a good Extention.

    Thunderbird updates to version 3.1 this morning, mentioning that the excellent directory switcher is incompatible now and will be disabled :(
    I miss it already!
    
    Any change on an updated version please?
93. Andrea wrote on June 25, 2010 01:55 PM BST (reply):
    This is a “must have” extension, so I’ll roll-back to Thunderbird 3.0.x until Dictionary Switcher will “handle” the new version! Good job, go ahead ;)
94. Clem wrote on June 25, 2010 05:08 PM BST (reply):
    I also hope that there will be a version for TB 3.1 soon. Meanwhile, I am not upgrading TB since Dictionary Switcher remains essential to me (French, English, and Italian). Such a good add-on!

    When will the update for TB 3.1 be available?

    >Feature Suggestion:
    
    Is it possible for the Extention to remember the same way in Firefox it guesses which language is for which website, which language is for which email (.co.uk, .de., .it, .es, etc), but also for emails like gmail which are all (dot)com.
    Just store some id which tells that with this person i always speak English, with this one German, etc.
    
    Just an idea, which would be very welcome by a lot of people!
