Before installing Firefox, I need to clarify the following: The use of locales: I am a developer and my preferable language, for the interface, is English (though, it is not my mother tongue). But, I would like to be able to use any other language (including, the use of any dictionary) and develop for any language or locale. So, does the English version let me do the above mentioned? Or, eg, do I need to install the Hebrew locale, if I want to use the Hebrew dictionary? Or, is it possible to install different locales on the same computer (and for the same user, in Win XP)?

You can install any dictionary is every locale, so that shouldn't be a problem if you use the English locale.

If you want to check out the user interface or how the browser acts with an RTL locale like Hebrew then you need to install the language pack and switch to that locale.

You can install additional language packs in any Firefox version.
