Basically the OS settings are no longer honored by mozilla
applications. Jorg fixed some of it but there are limits which can be
done in the frontend code right now.

The language settings and the regional settings are two very distinct
settings. Quite a number of computer users (like myself) prefer to use
an English version of the operating system for a very simple reason, and
that is that professional operating systems are always using English,
and hence these users are accustomed to the English terminology.
Unfortunately many programmers don't seem to understand the difference
between language settings and regional settings, so every now and then I
get an installation procedure that wants to install a Dutch version of
an application because I'm using Dutch regional settings on my English
Windows.
It seems some Mozilla developers don't understand the difference either,
because saying "install a Dutch version of Seamonkey if you want Dutch
regional settings" isn't quite what I was looking for.
If I understand the whole discussion correctly, the the whole problem
seems to be that C++ doesn't have a module that can call the regional
settings of an OS. First of all, to me that seems to be a rather silly
shortcoming of the C++ libraries, and secondly, why doesn't someone
write such modules for each OS that supports regional settings? I assume
it is well documented how to fetch the active regional settings in each OS?
So please Mozilla developers, get your act together and solve this problem.

OK, so you've changed your mind. I'll wait for the experts to respond.
