Here's how to reproduce the error:
Open the menu where you select the default language for web pages. In SeaMonkey: Edit: Preferences...: Navigator: Languages.
This is what I see:
http://inducks.org/pr...menu-1.png
At the top, I have Swedish. That's no problem: there's a Swedish translation of COA.
Further down in the list, I have Japanese. Note that there currently isn't any Japanese translation of COA. Select Japanese and move it to the top. It will now look like this:
http://inducks.org/pr...menu-2.png
Now delete any COA cookies, since they may contain previous language information.
Go to a COA page such as
http://coa.inducks.or...?c=D+95207 and you'll notice that the desc is gone!
Change the browser language setting to what it used to be, and the desc will re-appear.

Possible cause of the error:
* Going to
http://coa.inducks.or...?c=D+95207 with no COA cookie and with the browser language setting set to Swedish, COA sets the "coa-preferred-language" cookie to "8" (= Swedish).
* Going to the same page with no COA cookie and with the browser language setting set to Japanese, COA doesn't create any "coa-preferred-language" cookie at all.
Maybe the non-existance of that COA cookie causes the non-display of the descs? Maybe COA should force an English cookie, if it doesn't recognise the default browser language?
