UI Language and Content Pack Setup
2.84 KB, text/html
Details
"View > Languages and Web Content" does not work for me! This is in build 2001-05-03-09 as well as in 0.9 (! this makes L10n XPIs almost unuseable!), I'll try a newer one as soon as I have it installed. I tried both in Linux, I'll try 0.9 on Win98 soon. If I click any entry in that menu, the browser simply doesn't react. No box telling me I need a restart, as we had before. After a restart, the "new" language is not applied. I assume clicking the entry doesn't trigger the actual swiching.
Reassigned to ftang.

nhotta- can you or jbetak take a look at this one ?

In the console, --> strres.js: selectLocale() failed! Reassign to jbetak. Put nsbeta1 and cc to jaimejr@netscape.com.

Adding vishy, german and ben to cc: list.
let's shoot for Beta1 and see, how we fare...
Target Milestone: --- → mozilla0.9.1
oops, seems this would actually have been a dupe of 76006... But as this one has keywords, a target milestone and is assigned, I'll do it the other way round and dupe 76006 (no keywords, status = NEW, no target milestone, only a few CCs) to this one. BTW, I'm also seeing this on Win98, so I assume OS=All
OS: Linux → All
*** Bug 76006 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Adding asa rto the cc: list.
tao, ben: could you please review? Seems like an easy fix...
r=nhotta
alecf: would you be interested in another band-aid fix for Beta1?
ProfileManager can't select Languege and Region, too... attached easy fix patch.
cc: ftang and nhotta. attaching german's UI spec. This sounds like a dupe of Bugs 65241, 65251, and 65253.
sr=alecf on both patches
Is this _proposed_ language and content pack specification posted at www.mozilla.org? I'll say it again: UI changes go through a public review process. If there are standing objections from mpt (owner of the UI Design Component) or other UI design contributors then those concerns must be addressed before the proposal becomes a specification. An implementation will not be checked in until the design issue is settled.
asa: the patches fix bugs, and do not change ui - they make existing ui work as expected
r=nhotta for both patches
Jaime, as alecf pointed out, this is not really related to bug 65241, bug 65251 or bug 65253. This is a regression and only addresses broken functionality.
agreed . . . i can see that now. guess, its not a dupe, but related. couldn't really tell until i had an engineer look at the attached patch.
alright then - I just checked in. Thanks everyone! Tsukasa: thank you very much for pointing out the problems in the ProfileManager and also for your patch!

Still have a problem for Region (ContentLocale), I could set "ja-JP" but could not set "JP" region from profileManager. I've filed this as bug 84443 against ChromeRegistry. Please evaluate.
Jon - Can you take a look at this one? Reopening for now and setting to M0.9.2

Jon: any news on this? I have trouble reproducing the problem Katakai is pointing out. I also believe that he is going to address any remaining issues in his code rework for bug 80230. Any reason to keep this open for 0.9.2? KaiRo, can we close this?
Juraj - I'm also having trouble reproducing this one. Katakai - Could you please provide a test case for this?
I'll attempt to reach Katakai on 06/14/2001 by phone to solicit more input.
marking dependency on bug 80230. Unless we get additional information from Katakai, this bug will be closed on 06/15/2001. I'll try to call him again. Katakai? Are you reading this?
Depends on: 80230
I'm closing this. The original problem has been resolved and the Profile Manager glitch reported by Katakai is non-reproducable as of 06/16/2001. Please file a new bug against the Profile Manager if needed, and have a look at Katakai's rework of the underlying backend in bug 80230.

Waiting on new content and lang packs to verify this. See bug 89531 and bug 90279 for more info. This has basically been verified on WinMe-Ja using a tweak to the packs that "updates" them; using that tweak, I was able to switch language and region on the 07-10-branch build. On Linux and Mac, Profile Manager does not display correctly (only "Manage Profiles" button appears, and old profiles do not appear in the window) if I download and apply an old lang/region pack. Investigating whether this is due to incompatibility with the outdated pack as a result of the fix to bug 86807.
Verified on WinMe-Ja using US Win 07-18-05-branch build and ja-JP pack from JA Win 07-17-05-branch build. Cannot change language using same pack in 07-18-06-trunk build. Tao, is that because the version of the trunk is different? Filed Bugscape 7607 for problem with how ja-JP pack appears in View menu after download.

right. You can't use branch packs for trunk builds.
