I can reproduce it on RHEL-4/FC-5.

Comment 2 Martin Stransky 2006-11-29 12:24:39 UTC
Is your $LANG set properly? For instance LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8 for Czech.

Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2007-06-28 15:10:12 UTC
Martin, I have locale cs_CZ.UTF-8 and I can very well reproduce it. When I go
back to the Appearance/Language settings, English environment is always
selected, although I have selected the Czech before restarting mozilla.

Also, does it matter whether I have installed language pack into profile or into
chrome (I did former)?

Comment 4 Matěj Cepl 2008-02-08 20:42:12 UTC
Since this bugzilla report was filed, we have seriously upgraded Gecko-related

problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their
distribution available.

Please, confirm to us that this bug is reproducible on the latest upgrade of the
supported distribution (that's RHEL, or Fedora 7, 8, and Rawhide).

Setting the bug to NEEDINFO. If I won't get confirmation of reproducability in
30 days, the bug will be closed as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.

[This is mass-changing of bugs which seem to be too old and irrelevant anymore;
we are sorry, if this bug should not be incldued.]

Comment 5 Matěj Cepl 2008-04-09 13:44:04 UTC
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in
one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

Comment 6 Matěj Cepl 2008-06-12 06:44:29 UTC
Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to
investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the
information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not
reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the
reporter's distribution.

Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest
update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be
reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional
information.

Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.
