It works it the locale uses the iso-8859-1 charset. I guess the installer reads localization resources as if they were encoded in the system locale. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure es_ES.UTF-8 as your locale 2. Run Mozilla installation 3. Go thru all steps and check the missing strings Actual Results: Installation went ok but some strings where missing, everything after a non-ascii character was missing. Expected Results: Show all characters independently of default locale charset.

There's an easy workaround: set the locale to es_ES in the mozilla-installer script, and it should be ok.
Still a bug in the installer. This workaround may not work always, in the near future utf-8 will be more common, and es_ES.iso-8859-1 may not be available by default. I guess this is not particular to the spanish translation. Maybe should be fixed by upstream developers in the installer.

Como parece que no se me ha entendido en los anteriores mensajes, lo dejaré a titulo informativo en castellano. Esta solución no sirve si en el sistema en cuestión no existe el locale que usa Óscar, es_ES.iso-8859-1, tal vez no afecte a mucha gente pero ahí está.
