firefox localization problem

Hi

not sure where to post this question.
When I install Mageia my location language is "Oceana, New Zealand Engish ' but for some reason Firefox- en_ZA [ South African english ] is always installed as part of the system.
When any Firefox updates are installed I always have to accept Firefox- en_ZA.
Should I submit a bug report against Mageia or is this a Firefox issue?

Ben

You should be able to remove the package firefox-en_ZA to avoid being offered future updates to it. You would then have the default Americanese version, or you could install the en_GB version. There do not seem to be any other English variants available.

I assume that Mageia chooses en_ZA in the absence of a specific version for your locale.

Thanks for that info Jim

Yes, I do enable En_GB variant but I still have to accept En_ZA to enable Firefox updates.
I can live with it.
