Do you have the language packs of the other languages installed? Tools > Add-ons > Languages

There is no en-US language pack, so to get that you need to install the en-US Firefox version and install other languages in the version. http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.6/win32/xpi/
