1. The concept of "language packs" that was so prevalent on the Mozilla 1.x and Netscape 6.x / 7.x days seems to have been dropped in favour of "one Firefox installer for every language". This has its drawbacks. For instance, Firefox 1.0.3, which fixes several critical vulnerabilities, is available in English but the latest version at time of this writing in the Spanish-AR translation (South American spanish) is 1.0.2. When will 1.0.3 in Spanish be available is anybody's guess. I've just ran the firefox update checker and it tells me that my 1.0.2 is the most recent.

I'm guessing there will never be a 1.0.3 in Spanish, considering 1.0.4 is the current version. Also, I fail to see why language is so critical for a web browser program. Most of the text you view is on the webpages themselves, and with English being the most common language on the Internet and all, I expect most Spanish speaking Firefox users know enough English to navigate their menubars. That is, if they even use their Firefox menus that often, which I, personally, almost never do.

Also, since this person seems to be bilingual (why else would he/she be using Spanish software?) and wants to see the latest Firefox in Spanish, I'd like to know why he doesn't help translate instead of complaining. The program contains little enough text that the whole project would take a fluent speaker at most half an hour.
