These are all unsupported options. As long as everything is translated you 
might get away with it but the official way is to set up l10n-merge.

Here are the steps for a 2.46 Windows build which you need to adapt:

Not sure if 2.42 needs other options. It is also affected by the l10n build 
bug because of which Seamonkey needed to remove the extensions from the 
distribution. Adrian Kalla has a workaround for it but it didn't work on the 
offical builders.
