In bug 420730, we forgot the "Setting Language Preferences" (To set your prefered language) in nav_help.xhtml.

Note: the link at line 1164 needs to be updated.

OK, so I've changed this a bit based on the theory that having duplicate content is evil (it's confusing and (most important) it makes maintenance a nightmare). Not sure of the link to the language codes - is it worth having it?

This is perhaps a little bit better. Note that the old text regarding adding languages in the "Other" field was wrong - you can just add language codes (not language names). We actually support both 3- and 2-letter codes, but it seems we just automatically add language names for some 2-letter codes that are defined in toolkit/locales/en-US/chrome/global/languageNames.properties. It also seems that we send anything one types in the field - I tried to add "aaa", and "xyz" in 1.1.12 and Live HTTP headers shows this: "Accept-Language: sv,en;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.6,aaa;q=0.4,xyz;q=0.2". I was under the impression that only *.accept="true" in intl/locale/src/language.properties was accepted, but it doesn't seems so.

There are certain rules, has to be RFC1766 compliant, see http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/suite/common/pref/pref-languages-add.js#66
