Give me a 4:th download option, language pack only!
The developers of Firefox and the other products in the Mozilla family on my platform have versions ready at almost the same speed as for Windows, Mac or Linux. They do however only provide an en_us version which is fine as long as I can find a language pack for that version to download. Please do provide a more convenient link for that on the main download site/page! I'd like to download the language pack for menus separately so that I can run Firefox in German, Swedish, Danish or whatever language I want to use.

Fully Localized Versions

Exactly the places where the language files (As XPI files only) should be placed!
The first link show the page where the fourth column with language packs should be shown and built/compiled/assembled at the same time as the Win, Mac and Lin executables.
The second link show the page with language packs for a few languages, often those that doesn't seem to get a localized build on their own on any platform.
It is up to the localization team (a group of volunteers) for each version as to whether they want the localized full version or also have a separate language pack. The first 4 language packs do have a full localized version on the International Versions page, didn't check beyond that.
The XPI will automatically install from the download page for each langyage pack. Or you can right-click the Add to Firefox button on the language pack download page to save the XPI file to disk. The either drag that file into the browser window or use File > Open File to install it.
As far as "placing" those XPI's, try the Firefox program files \extensions\ folder. Each Profile should pick-up the language pack the first time the Profile is used, after dropping the XPI file in the \extensions\ folder - AFAIK.
Sorry, I don't think this information is going to help you with those 3 languages specifically with there being no language packs listed for them. You might want to check a Firefox / Mozilla support forum in those countries to see what they have to say.
You can find the language packs in the firefox/releases/latest/ folder on the Mozilla server.
You cna find the language codes by looking on the www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html page.
de.xpi , sv-SE.xpi , da.xpi
- http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/linux-i686/xpi/
- http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/win32/xpi/
You can install language packs like you install an extension.
Either directly from the server or by downloading the correct file for your OS (Linux, Windows) and use File > Open File to install the language pack like posted above.

Thank you for this link, that's exactly what I'm looking for, and has repeatedly since FF 1.x.
The localization teams should not have to handle these packages any further as they're available and included in the installers.
All these XPI files listed http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/linux-i686/xpi/ should have links as a 4:th download option on this page, http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html and that is something for the mozilla team to handle.
