icedove strange language behaviour

2014-05-03 Thread François Patte
Bonjour,

I have a problem with icedove: the default locale on my machine is
fr_FR-utf8.

On every opened window everything is in French (fichier, Edition,
Affichage... etc.) except for icedove which is in English on only one
user account (on other accounts, icedove is in French).

Where does icedove reads its language config on a user account?

I searched in .icedove directory but did not fing something relevant...


On the user account echo $LANG returns fr_FR-utf8 as on every other
accounts.

Could someone give me a clue?

Thanks.

The iceweasel language package (iceweasel-l10n-fr for French) needs to
be installed.

Go to about:config, and check the following settings:

general.useragent.locale
intl.locale.matchOS

intl.locale.matchOS is true by default, which means it takes the
settings from the environment variables. If false, it takes the setting
from general.useragent.locale.

Ok, then the language package is icedove-l10n-fr.

The settings for icedove are the same as for iceweasel. Instead of
about:config, go to the 'advanced' tab and select 'config editor'.

OK! I went there and changed general.useragent.locale to fr_FR or fr-FR
but icedove remains in English

I went to Language in the extension menu and I could see Français
Language pack is disabled version 3.1.1195 in incompatible with icedove 24.


icedove-l10n-fr is installed and seems to provide a wrong version of the
French language pack

or icedove read this language pack from elsewhere (but where?) and this
override the   icedove-l10n-fr

I don't know! How can I find this?

Thanks

What does 'apt-cache policy icedove-l10n-fr' say ?
The correct version is provided by the security update repository
(1:24.3.0-1~deb7u1)

If that is ok, there is probably an old version left over in the user
profile that is masking the system-wide package.

Try starting with a blank profile:

quit icedove if it is still running

$ mv .icedove icedove.saved
$ icedove

It will then start with the defaults. If you get the user interface in
French, the extension will need to be purged from the profile.
(check here:http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_add-ons)

To restore the user profile, exit icedove, and put back the original
directory.

$ rm -r .icedove
$ cp -rp icedove.saved .icedove

This was not the problem! In fact icedove read some extension from an
old .mozilla/firefox directory which overrided the icedove-l10n-fr
But, as all these extensions have quite cryptic names, I had to remove
the whole .mozilla directory and reconfigure iceweasel! Why make simple
things when you can make them difficult!

Thank you for helping
