It would be great if the strings would be external, so if say, there's a minor security update coming up, users with locales other than en-US could apply the security fix without having to wait for a version of Firefox in their locale. Given Firefox runs on multi-users systems, each user might prefer to use Firefox in his own language. Not only the installer should be multi-locale but the installed software too. User:Beltzner/Specification_of_Stub_Installer_User_Interface Shishen's Comments This is the difference between shipping Firefox, Thunderbird, and Suite on the same CD, or having to split them up onto multiple CDs. Since we ship 3 platforms, that takes our total size from 300 MB to 60 MB. If we could fit more than one locale per installer, we could place ourselves in a much better situation where a 20-locale Firefox installer may be ~20 MB instead of 100 MB. When we ship the Firefox product currently, we can only fit one locale per installer which leads to duplicating the same binary code for multiple locales.
