335245 - Installer filename should contain lanugage code, eg DE, EN, ES, FR

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 311716

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[石庭豐 (Seak, Teng-Fong)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2

For my company, I need to download different language versions of Firefox, English and French.  (And for my friends and relatives, I also need to download Chinese versions as well.)

I would find it very convenient if the installer filename contains the language code.  Currently, Firefox 1.5.0.2 installer for Windows is simply called "Firefox Setup 1.5.0.2.exe" no matter what language it is using (and the same situation for Linux and Mac versions).  And when I download and save them, I personally have to add language codes to them to become
Firefox Setup 1.5.0.2 [en].exe
Firefox Setup 1.5.0.2 [fr].exe
etc, etc

In this way, I could store them together in one folder (I prefer not to create individual folder for each language, how annoying!) and I don't have to re-download again.

This would be especially very nice for system admins or maintainers.

Reproducible: Always

Actually, the same applies to Thunderbird.

I really hope this could make it to the version 3
