      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.4.0"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)

      FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION : WINDOWS NT Version 4.0


      ADDITIONAL OPERATING SYSTEMS : English version, used in
      Sweden



      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      When installing, the install shield uses Swedish (as my
      systems settings "want" that). The translation of the
      installation is far from perfect. In fact, it is not even
      good.

      At the screen "Choose web browser", the translation is
      really funny...
      It litterally says:
      "Java (TM) is Javas standard running time for the following
      web browsers:
      * Microsoft Internet Explorer
      * Netscape 6
      You can change the error in Control panel in Java(TM)
      Plug-in."

      This is completely nonsense, really silly in Swedish and
      unfortunately drags down the good impression of Java.

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      1. Install on a Windows system with Swedish locale
      2.
      3.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      N.A.
      Get a better translator. (It is perfectly well translated in
      the other screens...)

      This bug can be reproduced often.
