@eureka:

Yeah, I'm at it right now... I noticed everything's setup on transifex and tool-wise, and I'm actually looking into the integration of it into the dist chain.

My observation is: it's almost working.

I.e., it seems to be working correctly when compiling the en_US locale, but not for others.

Here's what I get when compiling the de locale:

$ python tool/js_resources/ compile --source-dir ../kindle-touch-l10n-tx-full/src/5.0.3/pillow/ --dest-dir /tmp/loc-js/ --source-locale en_US --locale de
Traceback (most recent call last):

    with codecs.open(metadata_file, encoding='utf8') as md:

    file = __builtin__.open(filename, mode, buffering)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '../kindle-touch-l10n-tx-full/src/5.0.3/pillow/de/strings/wifi_wizard_dialog_strings.metadata.json'

The solution is trivial: metadata should not be looked for in the translated locale directory ("de"), but in the source locale directory ("en_US"). As I pointed out multiple times, I'm a complete legasthenic when it comes to python, so... could you please fix this?

Update:
P.S. The README is fine, it's just that it still has the old commands in it (if I'm not mistaken). For compile, I understand that the shortcut for "--source-locale" is now "-b", not "-m". Not a huge issue, as I'm using the long flags for now anyway, but probably just a small glitch that should be fixed.
