271623 - Interface of Calendar-extension uses wrong locale

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 266007

(Calendar :: Sunbird Only, defect)

Description

[Jürgen Landsmann]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0

I downloaded the package "calendar_windows_20041112.xpi" and installed the
extension into Thunderbird v0.9 (same effect with Firefox v1.0).

After installation I launched Calendar and the interface-language was English
instead of German. Unfortunately there is no option to change the
interface-language in any of Thunderbird's or Calendar's preferences ...

To work around that prob I unzipped the "calendar_windows_20041112.xpi" to
<some-dir>\ and any JAR-archvie in <some-dir>\chrome\ to
<some-dir>\chrome\calendar\.

After that I deleted any JAR-archive in <some-dir>\chrome\, zipped the content
of <some-dir>\chrome\calendar\ to <some-dir>\chrome\calendar.jar and deleted
<some-dir>\chrome\calendar\.

Then I edited the script <some-dir>\install.js and changed the value of
"default_lang" from "en-US" to my locale "de-AT" and zipped the content of
<some-dir> to "my_calendar_windows_20041112.xpi".

After all I uninstalled the previously installed "calendar_windows_20041112.xpi"
and installed "my_calendar_windows_20041112.xpi".

I know that it's just a workaround (because my JavaScript knowledge is nearly
zero) - but now I'm able to launch a German Calendar-interface via "Extras -
Kalender"! :-)



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install German Thunderbird v0.9 and launch it.

2. Install theme "Sky Pilot-Classic v0.1" and restart Thunderbird.

3. Download "calendar_windows_20041112.xpi" and install the extension via
"Extras - Erweiterungen" by using Thunderbird's extension-installer and restart
Thunderbird.

4. Launch the extension via "Extras - Calendar".

Actual Results:  
Interface language of Calendar-extension was English.

Expected Results:  
Interface language of Calendar-extension should have been German.

Theme "Sky Pilot-Classic v0.1" (downloaded via http://skypilot.projectit.com/) 
was used.

Prob still occurs with default theme!

Profiles are stored on a mapped network-drive (default home-drive).

I forgot a second edited script!!!

Delete the following:
Then I edited the script <some-dir>\install.js and changed the value of
"default_lang" from "en-US" to my locale "de-AT" and zipped the content of
<some-dir> to "my_calendar_windows_20041112.xpi".

Replace by:
Then I edited the scripts <some-dir>\install.js and <some-dir>\install.rdf
changed the values "en-US" (in install.js just value of "default_lang") to my
locale "de-AT" and zipped the content of <some-dir> to
"my_calendar_windows_20041112.xpi".
