** Description changed:
Binary package hint: firefox
Firefox appears to misinterpret the locale environment variables set by
the Language Support tool. It uses LANG instead of LANGUAGE.
Use case:
I am a software engineer, so I prefer to have my user interface language set
to English ("en_GB" if possible, fall back to "en"). I'm Dutch and live in the
Netherlands, so all measurements, paper sizes, and currency localization are
set to "nl_NL". This works for all GTK+ applications as expected. Firefox
however sets its interface language to Dutch instead of English.
As far as I can tell, the Language Support tool in Lucid Lynx sets
LANGUAGE and LANG:
LANG=nl_NL.utf8
LANGUAGE=en_GB:en
This seems to be a bug in Firefox.
