    How to set Firefox default language to test internationalization?

    Hi folks,

    I've altered the PHP underlying a website to support
    a few languages other than English, but the Firefox version that
    I'm using is of course the English-language one.
    When I set the language in the preferences e.g. to French,
    the website still thinks the browser is English. Is there a way
    to properly change the browser language?

    Thanks.

      Meaning what?
      but the Firefox version that

      Is that relevant? How?
      When I set the language in the preferences e.g. to French,
      In the browser? Surely?
      the website still thinks the browser is English.
      No it doesn't.
      Is there a way

      That wouldn't be an _authoring_ problem, would it?

      Please explain in concrete terms what you have done. Start from giving
      us the URL. You probably need to reveal some PHP code too.

      Followups trimmed to alt.html, since this does not seem to be about HTML
      authoring in the strict sense applicable in c.i.w.a.h.

          Mori and his wife were dining in a Kosher restaurant in New York when
          the manager spots them.

          Hey, Mori! Good to see you.

          Oy, Saul, I didn't know you went into the restaurant business? You were
          in used cars back then, huh! Listen here, I am so impressed by how well
          and politely your Chinese waiter speaks Yiddish!"

          Ssshhi! I taught him - he is applying for American citizenship - he
          thinks it is English.

              Type in the address bar:
              about:config

              You will get a list of settings. Search for "en-" and you see some
              language settings.
