HTTPS Everywhere displaying in Arabic #1773

Firefox extension HTTPS Everywhere is displaying almost completely in what I think is Arabic (I don't know Arabic, so can't be sure)

My installation of Firefox (version 38.0.1, Welsh interface) was installed on my newly rebuilt laptop yesterday (64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise sp1). All the text (apart from words like "HTTPS Everywhere", "HTTP", "HTTPS", and "SSL") is in Arabic, including the Options and SSL Observatory dialog. I speak Welsh, and my locale is "cy" for Cymraeg.

I emailed https-everywhere-owner@lists.eff.org to report this, and Seth David Schoen kindly replied, noting: "My hypothesis would be that the translation-parsing code got confused by your Welsh locale and, instead of falling back to English in the case of an unknown locale, fell back to the alphabetically first locale in its list, which is Arabic ("ar") rather than English ("en")."

Yup, it's a fallback issue, with Welsh not being supported and it's already been fixed.
