[phpesp-general] Can not get french language to work

[Ron W. <rwh...@ar...>]

I have just installed version 1.8 on a new server and the administration 
menus are in English instead of French.
The test output follows.
It seems to show that I have all of the languages installed and that my 
browser is currently set to prefer fr_FR output.
I get the same problem in Firefox and Internet Explorer
I had this problem on the previous server as well with an older version 
of everything.

Are the management functions supposed to work in French?

How can I debug this?
I am also curious about why the base URLs is different from what was 
expected - both are correct, one has http in front of it???
