[Bug 333799] Re: Firefox uses en-GB by default instead of en-US
Is this still an issue for people? We generate a en-US language pack as part of the Firefox build, and actually, en-GB users are currently getting en-US due to a bug in the language pack. Could people give an example of something that isn't localised correctly? Is it... 1) A part of the UI? If so, please give an example 2) Spelling suggestions?

Yes. Very much so. Spelling suggestions for US installs are still GB.

[Bug 333799] Re: Firefox uses en-GB by default instead of en-US
And this is only the default? Ie, do you get the correct spelling suggestions when you actually select the English / United States dictionary from the Languages sub-menu in the context menu? That works fine here, it's only the default which is wrong. We need to be shipping a pref in the language pack extensions which sets spellchecker.dictionary to the right locale. -- Firefox uses en-GB by default instead of en-US https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333799 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 333799] Re: Firefox uses en-GB by default instead of en-US
Yes, it is still the default on Maverick. The install is only a month old. According to the Language preferences menu in the content tab, en-us and en are installed with en-us taking priority. Disabling the other langpacks does not help. I know nothing of this right-click context menu you speak of.

How are you doing spellchecking then? If you right click on a word on a form, select Check Spelling and then right click again, you will be presented with a list of suggestions and a Language sub-menu. I'm 100% certain that the rest of the UI is in en-US. There is actually a language pack bug which means that all English variants are localised incorrectly with en-US (bug 632760), and that bug makes it impossible to localize the browser as en-GB. -- Firefox uses en-GB by default instead of en-US https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333799 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 333799] Re: Firefox uses en-GB by default instead of en-US
They're stored in /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.*/dictionaries (which is a symlink to the system dictionaries). I've just done a change in ubufox to set localized defaults for the spellchecker.dictionary preference, so that users get the correct default dictionary depending on their locale. (In the longer term, this is probably best provided elsewhere, eg, by specifying a localized value in chrome://toolkit/global/intl.properties and setting the preference in firefox. However, this would require modifying all of the language packs, and ubufox currently provides a means to implement this all in one place). However, it currently doesn't work because that prerefence doesn't support localized values, so I'm just testing a patch for that which I will send upstream shortly. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson) ** Also affects: ubufox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ubufox (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged ** Changed in: ubufox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Summary changed: - Firefox uses en-GB by default instead of en-US + Default dictionary is unspecified (was Firefox uses en-GB by default instead of en-US) ** Changed in: ubuntu-translations Status: Triaged = Invalid ** Changed in: ubufox (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson) -- Default dictionary is unspecified (was Firefox uses en-GB by default instead of en-US) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333799 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This has been happening a LOT LONGER than Jaunty! LOL - I have seen this since I ave been using Ubuntu for over 3 years now since gentoo days I always chalked it up to the location of the packager and though who cares - at least it's still English, but it finally got on my nerves since I started using webmail for work, and I was gonna file the bug... I have seen it with every release I can remember since 6.x days though... I have to admit I only completely backup my and reformat my /home partition every couple of years or so, so thta may have caused it to presist somehow as well. -Greg -- Firefox uses en-GB by default instead of en-US https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333799 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
