User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-AT; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-AT; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

After installing the new 1.3a Mozilla Exe-package, the standard-language is
english. I downloaded the German language package from the website through the
preference window. After download I changed the language to "german" and pressed
"ok". Next I closed Mozilla and restarted but nothing happened. Mozilla is still
in english language. So I deinstalled the english language to force him to use
german but this takes also no effects. Before this I installed Mozilla 1.2.1 and
was told that there is the new version 1.3. In Mozilla 1.2.1 it worked. So I
deinstalled 1.2.1 and installed 1.3 where it doesn*t work. I hope you can test
this bug in your environement.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mozilla 1.3
2. Open "preference-> Appearance-> Language" and "download more" german language
Version 1.3.
3. Choose Deutsch and press OK
4. Close Mozilla and restart. Nothing changes to german.

Actual Results:  
Still speaks english.

Expected Results:  
Change to German

No chrash. Normal environement Windows 2000 256 MB Ram. Didn't restart the
system yat but don't think this would matter. If so I tell you.

The solution was like allready written on
http://mozilla.kairo.at/faq.php#OnlyParts to change to English again and delete
the xul.mfl. After that I have german language.
