Flash seems to pick up the language from the LANG environment.
So:
LANG="lolcat.UTF-8" firefox
works just fine for me.
The other problem seems to be that potlatch is expecting a direct
match on "pt-br", and it doesn't understand "pt_BR"
So:
LANG="pt-br.UTF-8" firefox
works for potlatch, but obviously not for firefox.
This can be part fixed by changing the name of the wiki page to use an
underscore, but the script that pulls them in [1] needs fixing too as
it normalises the languages to lowercase, which for regional
variations is wrong.
