Any news on this, I see from the latest defs at http://patchmypc.net/documents/definitions.xml that, for example, FF has a listing for multiple languages, French being one of them at http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/26.0/win32/fr/Firefox Setup 26.0.exe.

I just tested this with language set to French and it still downloads and installs the en-us version; the same result with Adobe Reader 11.  Both were installed in FR versions prior to update.  The majority of users we support are FR or NL.  I assume if the links are in the xml defs then something is going wrong with the language setting not being detected?

This is on  W7 Pro French install however I see the same behaviour on NL computers.

We want to adopt PMP for use with our RMM solution so would be looking at purchasing a license / donating (200+ computers to be licensed) but this is a bit of a showstopper if we need to exclude common apps like Firefox.

Thanks!

this should be fixed for the apps that support alternative languages.
