Hidden Preferences: changing the locale trick does not work (anymore)?

frankweber
Hi,
I would like t have a german version of zotero with an english version of firefox and i found out about the "hidden locale-trick":

"By default, Zotero creates bibliographies in the language of the installed version of Firefox. Entering a locale code here causes Zotero to use the specified language instead. For example, to cite items in English in a non-English version of Firefox, enter 'en-US' (without quotes) into this preference. For a full list of available locale codes, see Zotero's chrome manifest."

I have tried this some time ago when I was still using zotero 1.0.9 and it worked, but it does not seem to work anymore(?) has this got something to do with zotero 2.X? I have set the value to "de-AT" (without quotation marks) but it did not change the interface language of zotero.

    First, are you trying to change the interface language or the bibliography language?

    Interface language is general.useragent.locale.

    Bibliography language is extensions.zotero.export.bibliographyLocale.

    And then, try de-DE. The de-AT locale is incomplete. (I'll create a ticket to merge de-DE strings into de-AT so at least it has those rather than English.)

    did the trick - thanks.
