User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

If you download Firefox Setup 1.5.0.4.exe for any version, you'd notice that in the resouce (Right-click on the file, properties, version tab, Language) the language is English US, even though it may be Basque, or any other language.

I'm also not positive why the internal name and Original Filename are '7zS.sfx' but that's a different bug, I guess.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Firefox Setup 1.5.0.4.exe for any language other than English US.
2. Right-click on the file, select Properties, Version tab, Language.


Actual Results:  
The language's value is 'English (United States)'


Expected Results:  
Should be whatever language you've actually downloaded.

We should just remove the language resource altogether.

It'd be more useful to have a correct language resource, if possible.
It'll allow people to distinguish between the different versions (as they all have the same name). Currently, I don't know of a way to do it.

The file is a 7-zip self-extracting archive which is used to get the installer size a small as possible. There is another bug along the same lines regarding localizing the string that is used by 7-zip during the initial extraction phase. Both of these are not simple to accomplish and provide little in the way of value when compared to other bugs.
This bug is actually the same as bug 260914
