Using Localized Tabzilla
To use localizable version of tabzilla, you need to go by step 1 & step 2 as before. Then in the step 3, instead of the previous one, add these two JavaScripts as follows:
<script src="https://raw.github.com/debloper/tabzilla/master/media/js/tabzilla.js"></script>
<script src="https://raw.github.com/debloper/tabzilla/master/media/js/locale.js"></script>
You can see the a working example of localized tabzilla in this page itself — if you need reference.
Once the localization code is mature (probably by next week), you can expect it to be loaded from the same Mozilla-server as before. For now, just use it for testing and please don't use it for production.
Presetting Tabzilla's Language
Tabzilla will load English[US] by default. If you want to change this behavior, and want it to initialize in your favorite language, then in the step 1 you need to mention the language code as a data-attribute to the anchor-tag:
<a href="http://www.mozilla.org/" id="tabzilla" data-locale="de-DE">mozilla</a>

If you want to see tabzilla in your own language, then step forward & submit the l10n-strings. All you need to do is to change the English strings (within quotes) with your language's translated word(s), along with the language code (as you see beside) — and, send this in.
If you have a GitHub account, then please check for an issue with your language code (else create one) & post the translation as a comment. If you don't have a GitHub account, then come talk to us at #mcs
in Mozilla-IRC and we'll figure something out.
Tabzilla is yet available in 10+ languages, including the most popular/widely-spoken ones in the world.
