Same translation bug as Firefox, but for Thunderbird. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #202352 +++ Description of problem: Firefox 1.5.0.5 uses a add-on based locale support. However, /usr/bin/firefox still expects the locale file to be located in the old filesystem layout, and is unable to locate any locale beside en_US. Therefore, Firefox will start up in en_US locale regardless of the system locale settings. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.5.0.5-0.el4.1 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set e.g. LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 2. Run /usr/bin/firefox 3. Actual results: Firefox starts in the US English locale, regardless of $LANG. Expected results: Firefox should start in the locale specified by $LANG, as long as there is an Firefox langauge add-on present. Additional info: This problem can be easily fixed by updating /usr/bin/firefox, line 142 from: [ -f $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/chrome/$MOZLOCALE.jar ] && MOZARGS="-UILocale $MOZLOCALE" to: [ -f $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/extensions/langpack-${MOZLOCALE}@firefox.mozilla.org/ chrome/$MOZLOCALE.jar ] && MOZARGS="-UILocale $MOZLOCALE" -- Additional comment from bnocera on 2006-08-24 09:17 EST -- *** Bug 202353 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** -- Additional comment from bnocera on 2006-08-24 09:21 EST -- This is a regression, and breaks translations for every non-English users. -- Additional comment from pm-rhel on 2006-08-24 09:24 EST -- This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.

With my limited testing for weird lang ( cat walked over keyboard ), firefox defaulted to english . thus, will not adding the line below be efficient MOZARGS="-UILocale $MOZLOCALE" -- Additional comment from bnocera on 2006-08-24 10:39 EST -- Created an attachment (id=134818) firefox-locale-support.patch This patch makes Firefox: - use the language packs, rather than just the builtin locales - support both short and long locale names (ie. both "pt", and "pt-BR" language packs would work as expected, for example)
