There are also serious navigation issues when the Latvian locale is selected.
Are these locale related issues unique to the Bishop front-end?

What’s unique about Bishop as regards handling Latvian, Polish or Slovenian
book abbreviations?
Testing just now is not exhaustive - done merely on a sample of languages and
books.
