Using RPX or similar openID selector in other languages than English


When you login to Stackoverflow you see a button with the openID logo between the text input field and the submit button.

When you click this button you get a dropdown with the main openID providers. This is an integrated 3rd party service called 'ID selector' which has been deprecated in favour of it's successor RPX (rpxnow.com). RPX even gives the user the possibility to login with existing Facebook, AOL, Google, etc. accounts.

This is an excellent service but I need it in German and it seems it's only available in English.

Has anyone encountered this problem and can share thoughts? Or has anyone even solved it? It would be a pitty if I couldn't use this great service just because there is no way to translate (@PhiLho: see*) these few strings in the js popup...

EDIT: *as a programming term: fetch, translate, return... like translate();

The question is, can I get the strings out and inject my translations?


Solution

  • Thanks for the kind word on RPX. Translations are on the shortterm roadmap.

    UPDATE: Translations have been implemented.
