Those are the project provided localizations. If yours is missing we can't add
it easily. If your locale is in this list, we could have a bug which should be
fixed (if you have MozillaFirefox-translations installed)

If we need the locale for future versions it should somehow being supported from
the mozilla community so that it'll end up as supported locale in their i18n CVS.

This is also a bug for Italian, Beta3 050826.
Firefox opens up in English.

I selected Italian from the Language list and I added it and made it my 
default language.  I then restarted my machine and opened Firefox again and it 
was still in English.

Where have you selected italian?
In Edit->Preferences->General->Languages?
This is not the place to switch the UI language.
The UI language is inherited from your system locale in $LANG.
If this is 'c' or en-US or empty or something like that you'll end up with
Firefox in english (US).

LANG=ja_JP firefox works for me. So I think it's only a configuration issue.

The default system locale is set to POSIX.  When we open Firefox with these 
settings it opens up in English.

When we change the LANG from POSIX to it_IT.UTF8 and open Firefox it then 
appears translated.

But when close out of Firefox the LANG will go back to default POSIX and 
therefore re-open in English if launched.

I have attached a text file (locale.txt) of our default locale for you to have 
a look at.

Hi,

We have this working fine for Italian but for Trad_Chinese we are still having 
problems.  All Locale settings are set correctly but Firefox is still opening 
in English.

Please see attached screenshot.

LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 firefox works for me, too.

Ok, we are going to reinstall and try it again.

We will let you know.
Thanks,

We have re-installed Trad_Chinese and firefox still opens in English, but 
could this be caused by another bug we have logged, 113845?

113845 is unrelated. Emmet can you try 2 things :

1. In a console try "rpm -qa | grep Mozilla" and see is
MozillaFirefox-translation appear in the output . If it does the transaltions
are included.

2. log in as a non-root user and try it. By default the root user has language
settings set to POSIX or blank so that would be why the UI is in english.

Ran the above command and got the following output:
mozilla-nspr-devel-4.6-3
mozilla-zh-TW-1.7-6
mozilla-nss-3.10-12
mozilla-zh-CN-1.7-6
mozilla-1.7.11-9
mozilla-devel-1.7.11-9
mozilla-nspr-4.6-3

try "rpm -qa | grep Mozilla" Upper case M as it should show you the
MozillaFirefox-1.0.6-4 Package and its not listed in your output.

So it seems that by default the Firefox translation rpm is not getting installed
for non-english languages. You have to manually install the rpm. Once you add it
manually it displays in all languages fine.

So to me it looks like a dependencies issue. So if a non-english language is
selected on install then it should install the mozilla translation rpm.

Wolfgang, Is this something you can fix or is it a yast / install issue ?

it would be a selection problem but AFAIK this has been fixed already before
beta3. So I don't think this is an selection issue.
But I miss the information if MozillaFirefox-translations is actually installed.
The output above is for mozilla and not Mozilla.
I still can't reproduce it. Up to now all languages I've tried opened up correctly.

From Dave by email..

On a pure zh_TW machine (i.e selected chinese Trad as the language from the
first install screen and then go with default package selections) he got :

> Hi Craig,

> The output I get is:

Are you using a machine that is set up from a chinese Traditional install or
just a switched locale machine ?

We can try and give you vnc access to a machine if that helps ?

SSH login would be good if possible.

Adding sndirsch for selection checking.
Stefan, is the MozillaFirefox-translations package really in all language
selections? (it should even be in en-US installation IMHO, because there could
be users with different language settings)

It's installed for:

Wofgang, I'll organise access to the zh_TW machine and email details to you
directly.

I've checked the machine now. MozillaFirefox-translations is not installed.
I don't know why but checked the SelDB Files:

In Gnome.sel it's defined in zh but not in zh_CN or zh_TW. The system is
installed as zh_TW as I've seen in the y2log.
Stefan, could this be the reason? Or should zh always match for zh_CN and zh_TW?

please also check pt_BR incase the same issue exists with pt v's pt_BR

fixed in selections for RC1.
