> Hopefully the following helps with clarity. > > > > For this test I created a new user for the email system, one that has > never logged into Horde before. This gives a relatively clean working > environment. The Horde install is 3.1.3, the IMP install is 4.1.3; > PHP version 4.4.2. If needed I can provide a listing of locale -a > output and other details. For clarity a number of screen shots are > provided, numbered in the order of reference. Please see the attached > file for the screen shots. The browser used for this test is FireFox > 1.5.0.7 on Mac OS X. Now to the test. > > > > Screen Shot: step one > > Depicted is the Horde/IMP Login screen. Here one can select a > language and log in. No language is actually selected at this point. > > > > Screen shot: step two > > Depicted is the same screen as shown in step one, after the user > selects Russian from the language drop down.

At the login screen (depicted in step > one) a different language is selected from the drop down, in this > case Persian. Please note that this is the same user as all previous > steps, who has Russian selected in Global Options -> Locale and Time. > After login, with Persian selected, the resulting interface is again > "gibberish", some words appearing in Cyrillic (Global Options, Help, > Logout and others) while others making *might* be Persian, but if so > are not displaying properly (Persian usually doesn't use the @ > character, among other symbols, in regular words).
