[Enigmail] Installing Enigmail with a different language version

[bitwyse]

Hello

In the past I have often had problems with installing Enigmail and its
language pack with a Mozilla or SeaMonkey version in a different language.
But I finally found a way to do it reliably every time, so I thought I
would publish it - because official recommendations don't always work.
I have only tried it for the French version but (as a programmer myself)
I don't see why it shouldn't work for any other language (provided the
same rules have been respected):

--------
1. uninstall the previous version of Mozilla/SeaMonkey
   and delete everything which may remain in the program folder.
	 (Personal parametres and data will be perfectly conserved.)
2. install the new [French] localised version.
3. install the English language pack.xpi - then restart and select
English as the display and content language - restart again.
4. install Enigmail and its French language pack - then restart
   (check that 'Open PGP' is correctly displayed in the mail menus - in
English).
6. now select French as the display/content language - then restart once
again.
7. now Enigmail should work perfectly (in French)
---------

HTH
