[Bug 550222] Re: Firefox interface language set to LANG, ignores LANGUAGE

[Martin Andersson]

Being completely out of the programming in this case,
my 5 öre is to say that it is not really good to have two
global variables with almost same names, but slightly
different meanings, and also same but slightly different
meanings for their names. It could be a good idea to change
both the variable names LANG and LANGUAGE to something
more descriptive, I think.
