Enable Firefox in my language [Solved]

[nachoig]

Hello,

I would like to kwon how can I to put the Firefox 16.0.2 in Brazilian Portuguese. I looked into Tools - Add-ons -> Languages, but portuguese is not in the list (but there are many others). In Arch, there is a package for Brazilian Portuguese in the repositories. But in Sabayon there is not any similar package.

I think Firefox is not compiled with your language support

Code: Select all

Installed versions:  16.0.2[?](01:29:27 29/10/2012)(alsa dbus ipc jit libnotify minimal startup-notification webm wifi -bindist -custom-cflags -custom-optimization -debug -gstreamer -neon -pgo -selinux -system-sqlite LINGUAS="af ar bg br bs ca cs cy da de el eo et eu fa fi fr gl he hr hu is it ja kk km ko lt lv mk nl pl ro ru sk sl sr ta tr uk vi -ak -as -ast -be -bn_BD -bn_IN -csb -en_GB -en_ZA -es_AR -es_CL -es_ES -es_MX -fy_NL -ga_IE -gd -gu_IN -hi_IN -hy_AM -id -kn -ku -lg -mai -ml -mr -nb_NO -nn_NO -nso -or -pa_IN -pt_BR -pt_PT -rm -si -son -sq -sv_SE -ta_LK -te -th -zh_CN -zh_TW -zu")

If you don't want to wait, there is a way to do it without needing to recompile Firefox: you can download the Firefox language pack extension (add-on) for Brazilian Portuguese from the Mozilla site and install the extension, which will make the Firefox user interface change to Portuguese. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Language_packs for the instructions on how to do it. Não é difícil.

Thanks for your reply. I put the pt-BR.xpi in my home directory (~/.mozilla/firefox/k8tejeq2.default/extensions/), but nothing appears in the extensions list or in the languages list. Anyway, I can wait.
