Thanks for your reply. I will do my best to adapt your advice to OS/2 
and SeaMonkey 2.42. I'd like to ask a few questions about it (sorry, 
this the first time I build SeaMonkey from source):
First one general question: From what I understand from your steps I 
have to build an English SeaMonkey first and the locale is added later. 
Correct?
The mozconfig file for the locale only differs in the addition of 
--with-l10n-base and I have to set LOCALE_MERGEDIR in my environment 
settings?
May I set the additional mozconfig options in the beginning or is it 
obligatory to build without them and then set them for the merge-de step?
The directory LOCALE_MERGE points to is just an empty working dir?
