Firefox in a french Ubuntu installation remains in english

I have also encounted this problem in a fresh ubuntu-gutsy 7.10 installation.

using System / Admin / Langage ( Prise en Charge Linguistique in french), I have been prompted for new packages installation based on '*-fr*' for mozilla, kde and so on. After those packages have been installed, my mozilla is running in french.

I suppose there is a dependency problem for packages. There is a cleanning process at the end of installation. perhaps some packages have been cleared at this moment.

this problem seems to rize when you install new ubuntu distro at the D day, and when remote servers are heavily loaded. I was waiting at 82% installation and disconnected my network plug so install process can go on. So this problem is minor. But a failsafe process could be made to install missing packages when network is availlable on next reboots.

This also applies to the German installation.
I installed Saturday, 20. October.
Changing the language at Preferences / Advanced / General / Languages has no effects.

this bug is fixed from intrepid and karmic. Just after installation, a popup window can help you install some "locals" if it has not been done at installation time.

I can suggest close this bug a fixed for ubuntu.
