   Here is the translation of Traditional Chinese.

   // Chinese (traditional)
   tw : [
     {
       loading    : '\\u8F09\\u5165\\u5716\\u7247\\u4E2D',
       loadingSub : '\\u6309\\u4EFB\\u610F\\u9375\\u53D6\\u6D88',
       context    : '\\u6253\\u958B\\u5716\\u7247\\u539F\\u59CB\\u7DB2\\u5740',
       error      : '\\u7121\\u6CD5\\u8F09\\u5165\\u5716\\u7247',
       next       : '\\u4E0B\\u4E00\\u5F35\\u5716 (\\u53F3\\u9375)',

   Thanks! I’ll include that in the next version.

   Psssst: Chinese (Traditional) is technically “zh-Hant”, but most browsers (ie Safari) report it as “zh-tw” (”Chinese as spoken in Taiwan”). If you are doing matching in the string, you’ll find it with just tw or ‘-tw’. Slightly off-standard anyway.

   Hi, I love your GM script but somehow it does not work properly with Flickr. When I click on a picture Greased Lightbox opens correctly but I cannot close it anymore by clicking somewhere.

   Firstly, thanks for creating Greased Lightbox. Lots of us users out here are appreciative of your script. Now a feature request: it appears as though Wikipedia disallows hotlinking of their images without a proper wikipedia referrer. This prevents greased lightbox from displaying wiki images unless they are linked from a wiki page. Could greased lightbox check the url before loading wiki images, so GL only appears when wiki images are linked from wiki pages.

   As an example, here’s a wiki image. Also try clicking on the image at the top of the wiki page.

   I found out that it has something to do with NoScript. I have to allow the site to close Greased Lightbox.

   @Nightwolf: Great detective work. It’s good to know that the NoScript Firefox extension doesn’t get along very well with Greased Lightbox.

   @Spartas: Thanks for pointing that out. I will look into fixing this.

   Any possibility this could be made compatible with the image toolbar extension?
   This is a great script but I’ve gone back to using Lightboxer, eventhough I don’t think its as good, as image toolbar is key for me. I’m sure there are others out there who would like to use image toolbar with this script!

    @IRBaboon: Thanks for the suggestion. I’m currently not familiar with the image toolbar extension, but I will certainly look into it.

    I love this script, but I have a question. I seem to remember seeing something about how you could use a key-combo to avoid opening an image via Greased Lightbox (for example, you know you need to get right to the image), but I can’t find any reference to it now. Am I imagining things, or was there a key combo that bypassed the Greased Lightbox at times?

12. (post author) Joe Lencioni said

    @Marty: On a PC, you can hold down Ctrl+Shift and click to bypass Greased Lightbox. I think you can also do that on a Mac, but I don’t know what the key combination would be off the top of my head (it should be something+shift, so just play around if you are on a Mac). I hope that helps!

    Thanks - that helps a ton. I love this script, but there are times when I really need to NOT have it work normally.

    First of all, thank you for this great Greasemonkey script. It’s realy awsome!
    I’ve made a Swedish translation for the next version of Greased Lightbox:

    // swedish
    sv : [
    {
    loading : 'Laddar bild',
    loadingSub : 'Klicka för att avbryta',
    context : 'Visa originalbild',
    error : 'Bild inte tillgänglig',
    next : 'Nästa bild (höger piltangent)',
    previous : 'Föregående bild (vänster piltangent)',
    magnify : 'Förstora bild (+-tangent)',
    shrink : 'Förminska bild (--tangent)',
    update : 'Ny uppdatering tillgänglig',
    slideshow : 'Starta/stoppa bildspel'
    }
    ], // end swedish

    I too am having issues using this with Facebook, it works great in Firefox with Facebook, but I just switched to Opera and I’m trying to get it work with the FB and nothing seems to work, it works fine pretty much everywhere else, but no FB :(

    Greased Lightbox’s download page reports that it works with GreaseKit. I haven’t been able to get it to work with Safari at all. If you have any pointers I’d appreciate it.

// wikipedia (needs to come before 'show')
{
name : 'wikipedia',
includeRegExp : /^http(s)?:\/\/(.*?\.)?wikipedia.org/i,
linkRegExp : /(.*?)\/(Ima(t?)ge(m|n?)|Immagine|Bild(e?)|Grafika|Afbeelding|Figura|Kuva|Magod|Billede):(.*)\.(jp(e?)g|gif|png|svg)$/i,
findImageRegExp : /(.*?)\/thumb\/(.*?)\.(jp(e?)g|gif|png)$/i,
replaceString : '$1/$2.$3',
showFunction : function(event) { greasedLightbox.showFrom(event, 'wikipedia'); return false; }
}, // end wikipedia


    This works with non english wikipedia pages since in some localized wikis the word Image is translated.
    eg:
    EN - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:xxxxxxxx.xxx
    IT - http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immagine:xxxxxxxx.xxx
    DE - http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:xxxxxxxx.xxx

    For some strange reason, Lightbox doesn’t work on deviantArt’s gallery pages.

    I was able to fix the compatibility problem with NoScript (as mentioned by Nightwolf) by removing the timer that hides the lightbox.

    old code:
    
halt : function() {
greasedLightbox.slideShow('stop');
setTimeout(greasedLightbox.hide, 700);
},


    new code becomes:
    
halt : function() {
greasedLightbox.slideShow('stop');
greasedLightbox.hide();
},
