--- Comment #3 from Wolfgang Rosenauer
The bugreport with bugzilla.seamonkey is set to resolved: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548246. Because my report is a feature; to switch Seamonkey with the OS language. Dependend of the intl.locale.matchOS, which on my configuration is set to true.
Correct, it's a feature. There is still the issue that the UI in seamonkey is not honored in that case. The thing is that this feature is not really a supported (from seamonkey) one. It's the same "workaround" we use in Firefox and Thunderbird to be able to ship multi-locale builds. Mozilla does not support that but for a Linux distribution it's the only way to support different locales. Probably we can find a way to support it from the UI.
I tested this situation on another computer. I see that the seamonkey-translations-common package is auto installed. This is probably the reason why Seamonkey switched to Dutch, because that is the OS language. I did not have the translations package installed. Why is this auto installed now?
It's installed now because the language packs are only available now. Seamonkey as shipped with openSUSE before hasn't had it. Your installation has a certain flag from installation to define which locale you've chosen at installation time or later. locale packages state which locales they support and get auto installed if the locale matches the config. So this bug ist still mainly a feature but I'll see if I can do something about the UI. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
