Description Robert Marcano 2011-06-26 20:43:00 UTC

Description of problem:

Firefox statup script does not find a langpack for any Spanish locale different than es_AR,es_CL,es_ES,es_MX. The statup script try to create a link inside the profile directory for the appropriate langpack, trying first with the full locale, for example "es_VE", later for "es" but there is no global "es" langpack only country specific ones like es_AR,es_CL,es_ES,es_MX, no the UIs is displayed on english
 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

firefox-5.0-2.fc15.x86_64

Additional info:

I propose to add a third langpack try, using es-ES, changing the firefox startup script from:

create_langpack_link $SHORTMOZLOCALE || create_langpack_link $MOZLOCALE || true

to:

LONGMOZLOCALE=$SHORTMOZLOCALE-`echo $SHORTMOZLOCALE | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]'`
create_langpack_link $SHORTMOZLOCALE || create_langpack_link $MOZLOCALE || create_langpack_link $LONGMOZLOCALE || true

This way the langpack "es-ES" is tried if "es" is not found

We'd need some better langpacks fallback but this one is applicable to es locale only.

do that means that this could not be applied? at least this solves the problem with a lot of Spanish speaking countries

I think the fallback of lang-lang is good, there is already pt-PT and many more regions than Brazil and Portugal that speak Portuguese (or variations)

I can see all these es_* locale langpacks available and getting used in firefox.
