Some menus in Zotero standalone appears in Swedish
This is supposed to be a bug report. Is this the place to send it?
I have just installed Zotero standalone beta 3.0b2.1. I am using Windows 7 (which is fully up to date, of course), the English version. However I am using Swedish keyboard etc.
Some of the text I see in Zotero standalone is in Swedish. For example the Tools menu looks like this:
Tools
Skapa tidslinje
Läs in RTF
Add-Ons
As you can see the first two menu entries are in Swedish.
TIP: I have seen this problem in other developing software. Some code is just reading the wrong values, checking keyboard layout instead of language used in menus etc.

The locale switching behavior is determined by Mozilla code (the intl.locale.matchOS preference in particular). Since it's upstream code, I am inclined to believe it reads the correct values unless proven otherwise. Are you sure you don't have the locale (and not just the keyboard) set to Swedish, which is possible even on an English version of Windows?
Which setting are you thinking of then you say "locale ... set to Swedish"?
I do have the "Language for non-Unicode progams" set to Swedish:
Control Panel
Region and Languages
Administrative
Language for non-Unicode programs
But that is a character setting, not a text setting. (I.e. my setting tells Windows to use Latin-1/ISO 8859-1 for the characters in those programs.)
intl.locale.matchOS
reads the locale from the language for non-unicode programs.
But for now, I'm pretty sure you could set the language for non-Unicode programs to English, which AFAIK also uses ISO-8859-1.
Can I see this "system locale" setting somewhere?
(And also if this turns out to be in XULrunner, do you know where to report it? Mozilla Core, or?)
Simon: I installed a C compiler. Your guess was correct, my system locale is actually Swedish (but where does that show up???) and my user locale is English.
I am a bit surprised by that ;-)
So I submitted a bug report here:

(However the bug of course still remains and lurks somewhere...)
