1102121 - zh-CN message displayed in zh-TW Open File dialog on Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1089363

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect)

Description

[Peter Pin-Guang Chen [:petercpg] (MozTW.org)]

Attachment: Open file dialog in Mac 10.10 with Firefox 33.1.1

Steps to reproduce: 
1. Have a mac running with OS X 10.10 Yosemite
2. Install Traditional Chinese version (zh-TW) of Firefox
3. Open some page and click browsing file button to upload a file
4. Check the messages displayed inside the "Open File" dialog

* This is not happened in 10.9 Maverick, so it might be an API change of Mac itself?

Actual: 
Some messages in the dialog are displayed in Simplified Chinese (See attachment)

Expected: 
The messages should be displayed in Traditional Chinese.

It seems that the OS X handles zh.lproj locale differently in 10.10 than 10.9.

In 10.10, I find out a workaround to fix that by renaming the `zh.lproj` in /Applications/FirefoxNightly.app/Contents/Resources to `zh-Hant.lproj`. But it seems to be a bad fix.

Better idea on this?

bug 1089363 is probably related

TBH, this sounds like an apple bug to me. :-( Steven, do you know (someone who knows) about this?

No, I don't.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in Mozilla (or even outside of Apple) who can get to the bottom of this problem -- by reverse engineering what changed in Yosemite.

But I won't have time to work on this for a while -- at least until after the Mozilla cooincident work week, and possibly until next year.

So in the meantime, whatever clues people can provide may turn out to be useful.  But there's a lot more information at bug 1089363, so let's continue the discussion there.  I'm going to dup this bug to that one.
