I've written some mapcss external validators for JOSM. They are hosted in
Github and listed in the dedicated wiki page.
They are in French, and I would like to make them available in the language
of the user.
I've set the baselanguage property in the metadata and also tried to add the
tr() function. But I can't find my rules in Launchpad.
Is there something I'm missing ?
Yes.
a) External validators will not automatically be translated in JOSM. You
need to setup your own translation infrastructure.
b) You need to convert the translated data to ".lang" files (scripts for
this are in i18n directory of OSM-JOSM-SVN) and attach these in a
directory "data" inside the zip file download
c) JOSM base language is English. You'd need to change the files
accordingly. The base language setting in the header essentially is to
exclude non-English stuff from translation.
c) see below.
Is it actually possible to translate mapcss external validators ?
Yes and no:

The "Development tasks JOSM" is missing, but could be done easily when
someone starts using this :-) It was not done because there is no data
requiring it yet...
If you have done the above steps and have a zip file with translation data
included give me a call (best via the ticket) and I'll implement the
missing core file loader.
