Uhh, just a guess from my side: I would try to use

"de,en-US,en-GB,en,en_US" or
"de en-US en-GB" whichever of those works.

Haven't tried it myself.

Hi Tim,

I do not know if this is what you are searching for, but I do the following:

at

http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n/mozilla-release/de/tags [this is for
german, substitute de for your lang]

download the tag for your firefox version, eg. for firefox-45.0 click on

FIREFOX_45_0_RELEASE

then at the top on bz2.

This will download the de locale.

Untar and rename from de-43jfhkfl to de

mkdir l10n in the firefox sourcetree and mv de into l10n.

in mozconfig add those two lines:
ac_add_options --enable-ui-locale="de"
ac_add_options --with-l10n-base=../l10n

this builds a german version of firefox and works for all users. As far
as I know, this also works for multiple locales in parallel, however I
did not try it.


After some looking around, I realized that the name seem to have changed 
to FENNEC_46_0_1, so I should be fine!


One last minor question: does this resulting build still contain the 
english version per default, or is it a german-only build?



Kind regards
Tim

Looks exactly what I was looking for. Sadly there is no tag (yet) for 
FIREFOX_46_0_RELEASE, which is what I'm using.


Kind regards

Hi all

I just wanted to ask if anybody has already compiled firefox with support
for some other language? The blfs firefox page seems to mention this (which
is totally ok, of course).


Cheers

Technically, I think this should be on blfs-support - but it is
straightforward so I'll answer it here.

I do not install other languages (so I _might_) be missing something
about how to make _multiple_ langauges work, but common languages -
in my case 'English (British)' instead of 'English (US)' - for the
current version are a download :

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/

and they do need to be updated for new versions (for me, that
happens automatically on a new release - might not happen if people
run nightly or whatever.


Thanks for the info. I was hoping for something that you could install 
system-wide, being activated upon the user's locale setting, but mozilla 
seems to go another way here.

Thanks for asking - I had not realised that I apparently turned off
the language pack on this machine, probably when I tried out a beta
some while ago.
