I attempted to reproduce this problem by setting AbiWord's interface
language to Finnish within XP (with English (US) as the locale) and
couldn't. 2.4.2 has been out for a while and this is the first I've
heard about anyone experiencing such a problem, so it could either be an
unreported bug or there could be something unique to your system that's
triggering this problem. One thing I would try is reinstalling 2.4.2,
making sure to remove traces of previous versions of AbiWord (i.e.
removing any AbiSuite directories in Program Files and removing
%USERPROFILE%\AbiSuite\AbiWord.Profile). If you do try those steps, can
you let us know if that clears up the issue? Thanks.
