** Observed wirh 5/13/99 Linux 5.0 build ** I ran the above Linux build under all the Japanese locales I could find under RH 5.2 installation with the navigator.xul file's menu and menu items translated into Japanese and then converted to UTF-8. I tried the following locales. ja_JP.EUC ja_JP.UJIS (actually not listed as one of the locales on my machine, mugen) japanese What I saw instead of Japanese were Latin characters. I guess we are not using the correct fonts for the locales above. We should at least get Japanese display working under a Japanese locale. One other thing I would try next would be other possible locale names. (I don't think I have exhausted the names yet.) Also what I cannot rule out yet is that my CDE environment may need an Japanization patch. Thus I'm not sure if this is our bug or the lack of proper Japanese environment setup. In any case, I'm filing this bug to keep track of this problem.

one solutions -use GFX base menu and menu bar to draw the text of the widget Hand this to trudelle unless he need our group to help. This is a native widget issue. It happend to Mac window and GTK.
I also test under: LANG = ja_JP.ujis and it does not work. This is teh locale under which the display should be working when fixed.

GTK is hosed for internationalization until version 1.4 or so, and the Mac has been tackled by Tague, so it should work now. In any case, I'm pushing this to M8.
Actually, I fixed this bug. It is a dup of http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7822
So, should this be made a DUP. Or are we leaving this open for the multilingual support?

This bug started out as a pure Japanese locale menu bug, so let's keep it that way. If we want a bug report for the multilingual menus, let's create another one and keep it pure too. Marking this one a DUP. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 7822 ***
