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

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

As regards disagreement... While I may think that a request for
recognizing LANGUAGE is a feature request, you think it's a bug. Not
much of a disagreement to mind about, I'd say. :)  Let's talk about the
issue at hand instead.

The patches attached to bug 553162 make sure that the first item in
LANGUAGE coresponds with LC_MESSAGES, whose value Firefox respects.
Consequently, once those patches have been implemented, the simple
Firefox patch that Wolfgang Rosenauer wrote, and which only supports one
LANGUAGE item, would in effect become a no-op.

The point with the gettext variable LANGUAGE is its priority list.

Hence I'd say that making an app recognize LANGUAGE ought to mean that
it's given the ability to respect the whole list, or else it doesn't
matter.
