There appears to be confusion about non-working translations, even after
having installed squirrelmail-locales.
This is caused by translations using e.g. fr_FR.ISO-8859-1 as locale,
but only fr_FR.UTF-8 is configured on the system.
In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to achieve the following:
* README.locales: add paragraph about setting up locales for gettext
(LP: #133845)
We thought you might be interested in doing the same.
For a bug report in Ubuntu about this, see
https://launchpad.net/bugs/133845.
Thank you.

+=== Locale with correct charset needs to be configured ===
+The locale of the language file you want to use has to be configured
+on the server.
+E.g., to make the "French" translation work, you need to setup the
+fr_FR.ISO-8859-1 locale.
+You can generate locales using:
+ locale-gen LOCALE
+You can see which locale names get used for a given language in the
+setup.php file of the translations,
+e.g. /usr/share/squirrelmail/locale/fr_FR/setup.php for fr_FR.
+See the "locale" program to display installed locales, e.g. "locale -a -v".
