| Anyone who has read about and understood the saga about Debian and Mozilla Corp should have no problem using Iceweasel, it is Mozilla code improved for Debian what more could you ask for. I have tried Swiftfox but apart from a very slight speed improvement can't see any other improvements in fact it seems to render fonts on some sites worse, they always look crap here www.theregister.co.uk/ .it's licence also forbids redistribution so I don,t think it will ever be in any official repository. |

Roman,
Iceweasel is apt getable from the normal Sid repros along with the Slovenian language pack, these are now the official Debian version of Firefox. Swiftfox is only from the developers site shown earlier in this thread. |

In iceweasel edit - preferences - advanced - choose language your chosen language should be selectable from a drop down list. |

Isn't this setting for websites that are multi-lingual?
IMHO I will have to download source of IceWeasel and recompile
it with Slovenian language pack ...

Roman,
Are you running your computer and KDE in your chosen language, the iceweasel pack is just for sites in your chosen language. If you have kde in Slovenian then I assume all application headers menus etc are in that language ie iceweasel. |

| It's a little fun to follow the discussions about the names for, Firefox, Icewhatever and so on. I have followed and used Mozilla and what became Firefox later since they started to give out milestones and nightly builds, and that some years back now. The name has changed a lot of times during the years, I don't remember all the names Firefox has had before but it's at least three or foure I think. Everey time the name changed there have been huge discussions. Personely I don't care what the name is, this is the best no cost Browser and I will use it whatever the name will be. |

Yes I have downloaded
Code:
apt-get install kde-i18n-sl
apt-get install koffice-i18n-sl
and switched to Slovenian language. So I'm running Konqueror/KDE and KOffice
in [sl] language. Also it's easy to change language in Opera browser by putting
appropriate .LNG file into the following folder:
Code:
/usr/share/opera/locale/
According to this page
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
it seems that separate binary of IceWeasel/FireFox is needed for each language.
I hope that Mozilla will introduce dynamic change of language in FireFox 3 ...
Regards, Roman
P.S. Where is german version of IceWeasel for example ??? |

Just download the full linux installer for any firefox, thunderbird, seamonkey release and extract/ install by default to usr/local./ eg seamonkey.
Also downlload flashplugin for Linux, extract and read the how to docs.
You transcend the politics then, like it should really be.
You will have to edit and save a new menu entry.
Ian Murdock founder of Debian would agree also, one of his aims is to have universal packages for Linux.
Kano has also thoughtfully supplied CLICK software, another interesting approach, but the flash plugin does not work.
Hence the tarred installers work best, and you can keep up with the latest.
Best of luck
