Description Xiaohong Wang 2010-10-19 09:01:51 UTC

Description of problem:
Login system with different languages, open firefox and check the index page, the index.html page have been localized with different languages (/usr/share/doc/HTML/), but in some local, firefox doesn't pick the right localized index page and still using en-US/index.html

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-indexhtml-6-1.el6
firefox-3.6.9-2.el6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open firefox in the following local
   as_IN,bn_IN,hi_IN,te_IN,ta_IN,si_LK
2. Observe the start page
3.
  
Actual results:
The start page is file:///usr/share/doc/HTML/en-US/index.html

Expected results:

Additional info:
In other languages, firefox picks the right localized index page. e.g. zh_CN, ja_JP, kn_IN,mr_IN,ml_IN,or_IN,pa_IN

Reassigning to qemu-kvm ... xorg-x11-drv-qxl is for guests, and here the guest is Windows 7.

mysterious non-sensical messages in stderr

There seems to be some important problem underneath this. How come C library doesn't support as_IN, when it does?

gedit doesn't work etiher

Seems like this is not just firefox problem either. Reassigning to glib2

Comment 7 Matěj Cepl 2010-11-26 09:49:21 UTC

Moreover I don't understand what is /usr/sbin/build-locale-archive supposed to do. On all Fedora/RHELs I found, it just gives an error and according to http://stephane.lesimple.fr/wiki/blog/fixing_a_locale-archive_breakage it somehow relates to this problem.

it should be as_IN.UTF-8,then it is working

Comment 9 A S Alam 2010-11-29 04:36:25 UTC

This bug is already reported and working with upstream (firefox issue): bug
#623023.

Please refer bug #578072 for more detail

Comment 10 A S Alam 2010-11-29 05:12:11 UTC

locale (as_IN) is not supported, but as_IN.UTF-8.

so this is NotBug for gtk2 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=657556#c2)
