From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 Thiz; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20021127

Description of problem:
Besides preserving LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGE, it is important to preserve the
LANGUAGE environment variable too for proper support for some locales like zh_HK
in which LANGUAGE=zh_HK:zh_TW.  (There are hardly any zh_HK PO/MO files around,
so we often fallback to zh_TW.)

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any applications linked to consolehelper in the zh_HK.* locale, with
LANGUAGE=zh_HK:zh_TW, for example.


Actual Results:  You'll notice that it doesn't show Chinese, even if
LANGUAGE=zh_HK:zh_TW.
