My system's default language is English, and I needed to have different languages available for Firefox. This is the relevant flags from /etc/portage/package.use: www-client/mozilla-firefox linguas_en linguas_en_GB linguas_en_US linguas_ru linguas_zh linguas_zh_CN lingaus_zh_TW linguas_nn_NO java custom-optimization I expected the default language to be the first in the LINGUAS list, but it turned out to be Russian (????). Why ? www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0.5
Thank you for the report. It looks like a problem of Firefox itself not handling multiple language packs properly. Assigning to maintainers.
Please set the languages in the LINGUAS variable on /etc/make.conf, for example: LINGUAS="en_GB en_US ru zh_CN zh_TW nn_NO"

I'm unwilling to set this globally for all applications (perhaps for wrong reasons. for some apps i just want one language support).
