Also, when LANGUAGE=es_ES (which is included), not all the menus are translated: Ayuda/Hilfethemen (German) Marcadores/Personal Toolbar Folder (English) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-1.0.6-1.1.fc4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: a) 1. Set environment variable LANGUAGE=es_MX.UTF-8 or es_MX or es (or any othe language not included with the firefox distribution 2. start firefox 3. You'll see every menu is in german. 4. Quit firefox (Datei/Beenden) b) 5. Set environment variable LANGUAGE=es_ES 6. Start firefox 7. You'll see menu Ayuda/Hilfethemen is not translated Actual Results: a) Every menu is in german when environment variable LANGUAGE contains a locale not included with firefox. b) Menu Ayuda/Hilfethemen (Help/Help Contents) is in german. Expected Results: Messages should be properly localized Additional info:
