Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

I noticed that firefox, openoffice and amule change the interface language accordingly to the value of $LANG instead of $LANGUAGE.
I don't know if this bug is caused by a common library.
Standard GTK apps work as expected.

This is also not a duplicate of bug #553162.

They are clearly different issues, even if bug #553162 is the cause that triggers this bug.
