Brief description of your issue

I use the German language version of Firefox. UnigetUi lists the package ID for Firefox as en-US. When I update Firefox using UnigetUi (source: winget), the language in Firefox changes to English, and the German language option (selected in the settings) is removed.

Where in UnigetUI do I configure Firefox to use the German version and not the US version for updates?

Steps to reproduce

Install firefox german version Winget upgrade command with id Mozilla.Firefox Firefox changed to english language

Expected behavior

Update firefox with winget upgrade

Actual behavior

change the Language of firefox

Environment

Winget

Firefox is broken down by locale/language. Run winget search firefox to figure out which package ID matches the locale you're looking for.

WinGet also has settings where you can specify a preferred locale. Run winget settings to see the settings file and the URL for documentation on WinGet Settings.

Where can I set the local language for Firefox updates in UniGet?

My current "solution" is to disable Firefox updates in UniGet to avoid getting an incompatible language version :(
