Build Identifier: 

In browser languages list (Preferences -> Navigator -> Languages -> Languages
List) there is no "Persian [fa]".

But if you type fa in (Add -> Others), it will add "Farsi [fa]" tu the list.

Persian is other name of Farsi language, and these have same meaning.
We use "faarsi" in Iran, but ISO uses Persian in standards.

it's like German [de].  there is no Deutsch in list.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
go to Mozilla Menu -> Preferences -> Navigator -> Languages -> Add.
type "fa" in Others field, and click OK.
Actual Results:  
it will add "Farsi [fa]" to list.

Expected Results:  
Please add [fa] to Add -> Languages list and also change "Farsi" to "Persian".

It should be "Farsi [fa]" not Persian [fa]".  In any case, I confirmed that this
occurs in the latest build #2003060404.  Internet Explorer 6 has "Farsi [fa]"
listed as a language.

Based on bug 204767 comment 2 and the analogy of "German [de]", "French [fr]",
etc, it's going to be "Persian [fa]" unless someone brings up a new and
convincing argument in the other direction.

Fixed by the checkin to bug 178491, at least to the extent that the language 
name is now correct.
