Since recently, Firefox is displayed in English, and cannot be switched to another language

I used to use Firefox in a non-English language (apologies but I am not much of a linguist). Since a couple of weeks ago Firefox always displays in English, though under "Tools" / "Languages" the item "German" appears as selected. Switching to English explicitly and switching back to German does not help.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04, and my system language is Esperanto. Firefox used to display in that language. If it is no longer available I would prefer German.

In the past two weeks I did a bit of research but not to much avail. I noticed I had the "Locale Switcher" add on installed, and deactivated it. Switching languages in the "Languages" tab of "Add-ons" still did not work (yes, I restarted every time). I installed the "'''Quick Locale Switcher''' 1.7.4" extension (yes, I restarted), and it displays a number of locales in the "Tools" menu; still choosing one has no effect (yes, I restarted).
Then I juggled with Quick Locale Switchers "options", which actually displayed in Esperanto (so I cannot tell you what they say in English). I check the first one (saying more or less that locale switching should affect the user interface) and switched to German (yes, I restarted) -- and '''it worked'''! I switched to Esperanto -- and Firefox went to ... English!
After a lot of searching in the Web I found on "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/esperanto-language-pack/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/esperanto-language-pack/]" that this pack is "'''Not available for Firefox 3.6.16'''". That might explain something (not everything); probably I lost my language when I upgraded from 3.5 to 3.6.
Here a little error message could save people hours of their lives...

Apple does make these, but they are not sold everywhere. Where are you located?
Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store, so to find out whether you can buy a particular product you will need to contact stores directly yourself. In the US you can sometimes get unusual keyboards by talking to an apple retail store and asking for a special order.

There should be something that allows me to switch back and foth between Japanese and English...or is that in Windows XP and not in the browser?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I installed Reader (in English) and it prints in a different language

I installed Reader [01/03/2010,in English] and it prints in a different language/garble.
I received a hospital appointment email with an attachment confirming my next day's appointment.
The attachment confirms place and time with a barcode to be scanned upon arrival at the hospital's kiosk.
So far all is good but, when I print the attachment it looks similar in format but is garbled.
It does not appear to be a translation to a foreign language but rather a series of random letters and symbols.
Examples:
Time: prints out as; Ujn f ; Provider:prints out as: Qspwjef s ; Location: prints out as: Mpdbyjo
09:00AM " " ; 1: ; 11BN Not only are the letters garbled but they are merged
I don't know what's wrong or how to fix it. My question is "What I Gotta Do?" HELP!

It "could" have something to do with improper embedding of the fonts used in the document. Reader is substituting for a different font which as you can see, rarely works.
One thing you can try is in the print menu find the option to "print as image" and see if that works.
If it doesn't, there isn't really anything you can do except to contact the folks that made the PDF and request that they embed all fonts.

Agreed! This bug with the ringtone delay (№4.1) is really annoying

Since recent Firefox update, Google search bar is in foreign language!

Following the recent firefox update, my google searches are directed to google.cz. Unfortunately, I don't speak cz, only .co.uk

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ get the uk version and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

How do I get my Course Manager to display in English and not German?

My company is registered in both Germany and United Kingdom, and conduct business mainly in English Language. I signed up for iTunesU in order to create courses to share on iTunesU on behalf of my college. However, each time I insert the link below to go to the Course Manager panel:
coursemanager.itunes.apple.com
the site redirectly automatically to
itunesu.itunes.apple.com/coursemanager/de-de/
which displays everything in German instead of in English. This has been a huge hindrance and costing me loads of time trying to figure out how to get the Course Manager platform in English. There are only very few menus in the Course Manager and there is no route to changing the language. I would appreciate any assistance with this.
