219762 - Thunderbird's locale resource (en-US[-mail].jar) is no synchronized between different OS.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 214663

(Thunderbird :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Hung-Te Lin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; zh-TW; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030909 Firebird/0.6.1+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; zh-TW; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030909 Firebird/0.6.1+

The locale resources (en-US[-mail].jar, en-unix/win/mac.jar, US.jar) in Thunderbird
are not synchronized between Windows and other OS.
Windows builds have en-US.jar and US.jar merged as en-US-mail.jar, and a its
content is different from other platforms like the en-US.jar found on Linux
builds. It seems like that Windows builds removed many locale files inside the
jars while Linux/Mac/OS2 builds did not.
Please make them synchronized, because currently it's painful to localize
it right now.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Get a windows and one linux or mac build and check the chrome/en-US[-mail].jar
and compare them.

Actual Results:  
(1) Windows version has en-US.jar and US.jar merged as en-US-mail.jar
(2) Contents in Linux/Mac/OS2 builds are more than Windows version

Expected Results:  
(1) All versions should follow same policy
(2) Contents should not be different.
