Did you try to install a localised version?
0.9.68a as found on the website works fine for me.

The problem is probably that he has a previous non-en-US version installed, and
the chrome registry sucks, so it tries to use the browser's locale even though
it doesn't match ChatZilla any more, at a guess.

Reporter: uninstall any other ChatZilla versions you have, especially any
non-en-US ones, and try installing the en-US one again. Also try using Firefox
in en-US mode.

There is nothing we can do about this, it is not our bug.

I was having this bug with chatzilla-fr, firstly bug was due to me
(miscompilation of the xpi, so it was using an old translation file). After
fixing it, i had to completely remove chatzilla and translation, and then
reinstall them. Now, works like a charm !

Glad it was what I though (mis-matched translation). :)

We plan to address this with an alert sometime in the future, to make it clear
what is going on.
