I also prefer the xpi method as the method for compiling with a different locale seems to change a lot and often breaks. As I understand it the locale files are just text/data with nothing compiled from source code so it seems sensible to use xpis. what i am missing with firefox and thunderbird is automatic detection which language should be used. most other packages chose the language by $LANG (de_CH.UTF-8 or fr_CH.UTF-8), $LANGUAGE (de or fr) or $LC_ALL (same as $LANG). the mozilla products require the 'general.useragent.locale' to be set and the language-plugin to be activated.

I believe it can be done to multiple languages(?) 'general.useragent.locale' to be set and the language-plugin to be activated. I like and use this other approach too. Just wanted people to be aware of the other one.

I think you can find it in preferencesadvancedconfiguration editor. That's how it is under Debian (translated from French).

Thank you, Pierre!
Long, very long, ago, I remember seeing that. Couldn't remember now nor
find without your help.
I was not precise in my previous mail: always try FF with pt-BR compiled
with source. When this fails, I use the .xpi. The same with other
{mo,gnu}zilla packages.
