When a set of NBMs, which includes localized NBMs, are downloaded to be installed manually, the localized names of the NBMs are displayed as regtangular boxes or squiggly unrecognized characters. Steps to reproduce: . Download or create a set of multilingual NBMs contains English + Japanese + Simplified Chinese on the local system. . Start the IDE in English locale . Select 'Update Center' from the 'Tools' menu . Select 'Install manually downloaded modules' . Add the multilingual NBMs on the system . Select 'Next' . In the 'Select Module to Install' panel, the names of these localized NBMs are displayed in square boxes or weird characters. The desired behavior would be that the AutoUpdate client would detect the running locale on the system and only display those NBMs for that locale. In addition, a dialog popup would inform the user that here are more NBMs in different locales detected but not shown. If the user wants to install thoses, s/he must exit the IDE, reset the locale environment and use the autoupdate to install those modules.
It's de facto duplicate of issue 33096 (I added 'oslo' to issue's whiteboard there). I don't see good way to do filter the NBMs by current locale. Users would report that don't download e.g. the Francois L10N and German L10N at once if s/he runs IDE alternately with different locales. Better will be display names in English as default if the locale doesn't match. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 33096 ***
