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

[David Planella]

** 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.
