Mozilla is written by retarded bastards
I just need to vent. Mozilla adjusts its language settings based on your "current location" rather than your "prefered language" - meaning that all Mozilla Menus are written in technical Czech. This is less than worthless and completely retarded.
That is all.

You mean open source projects aren't golden nuggets of useful applications handed down from Olympus? Well color me surprised.

Re: Mozilla is written by retarded bastards
Perhaps we should clarify whether Frank's using Firefox or the old and no longer supported Mozilla suite.
More seriously, have you checked the support forums at mozilla.org. There's probably a way to fix that in about:config.

Wow. Having never been outside Australia, I have never noticed that. That must be seriously annoying.

Re: Mozilla is written by retarded bastards
It's kinda like how google gives you the appropriate 'local' page, although that's fixable too.

Re: Mozilla is written by retarded bastards
I've noticed Google, because at work it sometimes appears as though I'm in Israel (when our main server fails over to corporate headquarters, which gives me an Israeli IP address). I've never had Firefox do that, though.
You can't fix stupid.

Re: Mozilla is written by retarded bastards
Your current location, by noting IP of your connection or by language settings on your computer?

Re: Mozilla is written by retarded bastards
Of course it's IP - do you think Frank decided to use his computer in Czech?

Re: Mozilla is written by retarded bastards
Google always sets my search language to Croatian the first time i start a browser after a reinstall. The first hits are then in Croatian as well. Those few that it can find.

No problem in Vietnam with mozilla but I don't think vietnamese is available. Google does often bounce to its vietnamese page though

You sure about that?
I just set my clock setting to brazilia, kuwait, new delhi, and kabul. each time with a comp reset added in as well. I had nothing change.
It might be because of something else or I might be missing something.
Regarding the situation though, yeah, that's retarded.

Download and use the English-only version. My PC is set to Greek but I don't even have the Greek menus for Firefox

Re: Mozilla is written by retarded bastards
Yeah, it looks like, on the mozilla.com home page, you get a download link to whatever version they think you need based on your clock settings. If you click on the "Other Systems and Languages" link right below the download button, you get a table of Firefox versions in different languages for all three major OSes.
At least, I'm assuming that's what shirak was getting at after digging around mozilla.com.

Re: Mozilla is written by retarded bastards
Also once you have this thrice damned language pack it will helpfully load it for you based on clock settings. You can't just download the English version, you have to delete the other language options.

Color me confused. Why do you install other languages since you apparently don't want them?

Re: Mozilla is written by retarded bastards
Sorry if I was unclear.
If you select the default download of Firefox, it will set the downloaded language pack based on your clock settings. Once this has happened, simply downloading and installing your preferred language pack is insufficient, because it will then reload the language pack based on your clock settings if it is available.
So what you have to do is delete the old language pack entirely, and then install the right language pack. Because as long as it is on your computer somewhere, Firefox will helpfully find it for you and put everything into illegible Western Slavic.
It's a solvable problem, it's just retarded because your computer has a language preference in addition to a clock setting and they could get the same functionality they are trying for without being really annoying by simply checking the correct value.

Re: Mozilla is written by retarded bastards
Ah. It all makes sense now.
I've reformatted my computer and the damn google tool bar search window is automatically going to the Vietnamese Google website which has limited search options. Any way to change this anyone knows about?

I wish. Being in Czech Republic, my toolbar opens up google.cz - it works but it gives me search results with more porn than I'm necessarily looking for. I think it has something to do with this.ckafrica wrote:I've reformatted my computer and the damn google tool bar search window is automatically going to the Vietnamese Google website which has limited search options.

That google trends thing is pretty sweet, I never knew about it.
The toolbar thing just pisses me off because it won't show financial searches from google.com.vn and so I have to go back to google.ca (can't go to .com because it redirects to .com.vn) before doing a search. I've never seen real vietnamese made porn (rather than porn including Vietnamese) so I'm not sure if it's worth getting too much of or not. If it's anything like chinese softcore, no thanks.
