--Signature=_Sun__5_Feb_2012_11_33_09_+0200_lJ7jkH+_9gWMBPYA Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-9 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable >=20 > Any advise on this? >=20 Both Firefox and Thunderbird localization depends on <lang>.xpi files, which have to be installed either manually or via localization ports; for Firefox it is /usr/ports/www/firefox-i18n and Thunderbird /usr/ports/mail/thunderbird-i18n. These ports rely on xpi-quick-locale-switcher which is located in /usr/ports/www/xpi-quick-locale-switcher. By default a couple of locales are set default and you have to select your native language for Firefox and add swedish to makefile located in /usr/ports/mail/thunderbird-i18n in order to run it in your native language. For Firefox selecting native language works fine and native language is included in each port and software upgrades. All you have to do is to check if Firefox is English and switch to your preferred localae if necessary and make necessary adjustments with xpi-quick-locale-switcher. For Thunderbird it works different. Thunderbird localization port works via a predefined locales which all are hardcoded in /usr/ports/mail/thunderbird-i18n/Makefile. You have to add your native locale everytime /usr/ports/mail/thunderbird-i18n port is upgraded. After ward you can compile, install and run Thunderbird with your native language. This process has a caveat also. thunderbird utilezes a reg,istry live configuration which requires to be updated in order to run with your native language. After you have upgraded thunderbird you may have to check out addons and select native "language" in order to run it in native language of yours. And the shortcut: Download language xpi files forem Mozilla ftp sites and install lang.xpi file by openning it with Firefox/thunderbird and select your native langugae from addons dropdown menu at the toolbar. restart Firefox/Thu=FDnderbird and it is set till nexty upgrade. You have to repeat this process everytime you upgrade Firefox and Thunderbird. That is my work around solution. I hope it helps. Any better solutions than mine are always wellcome. --=20 G=F6k=FEin Akdeniz <goksin.akdeniz@gmail.com> --Signature=_Sun__5_Feb_2012_11_33_09_+0200_lJ7jkH+_9gWMBPYA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJPLkzZAAoJEC4yIan56Tgwj90P/iEm1pmPZ79rmdh+j1KcSiPW i7quXKcEDYt20q52x/tIBLfWarJC0dTGAGW9Z70LguN/ZLSc6a3si9Jnl9IQbJcS 786mxGRTNj3iEVQKAhDHIrH0YA5jYYmbPaXd8NalgDQSnKQJ0IdRuyMoeSMuI9b3 vHFvp9joZUd00b9NaOiYBJsu28YU++X2OzmroZcFJh960prtqfZPAbqKGp+pGKCG 6BugvkBWG9Bm8iFOVj29x7krI8Nj0J9wbFIC1ANWtAAtyd2zwJ8juJS/jZOPWb7E QzazJBoObBXJUmfld3pUuSgdeNlnESzY0O7+NnVTMElqDQhq1wjet1WIudvRWQyo 6FhmX0gt0I0AnsQXXkIT/w0MxJFJYXsSh0yr97zGcC191IjcygeNz7JV1ekAGg85 45EbiEGDykGqU3op5DAoO1ao6Nu6fknVqp6s7KUuZCXE5DwQgCCaT4zUbWCRyTaT CpSjF67Uu410qAzRQxfuBXqWPUQyls3j684f/Sy3bbaKs9UHQwp3A6uSvm/dTJQp 32Xm3NOP+6CEqFu9TqJlMf1xxcuOHDOT5vi6TFpYcBZ8DJGCzsUBYbJETV3BYuHa sXVdZE8FXKJBg76TgoJAY7shKg6W+7ZtnPNmkhMoDwtDvrODrv/pDZwLY6VIaBwA H6hdCKWEmYS5EHtOpHZr =kDhq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Sun__5_Feb_2012_11_33_09_+0200_lJ7jkH+_9gWMBPYA--
