Locating Google search plugin files for each locale

[vin]

Pardon me if I am posting this into the incorrect group.
I'm working on a Firefox addon that helps users search on Google more
efficiently. I'm trying to locate the search plugin file for each
Google locale that Firefox ships with. Im using the en-US version of
Firefox and was only able to locate that file for my locale.

I believe I am looking for the file called google.xml (the search
plugin). I found it over at Mozilla files:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/find?string=google.xml
This shows the path to the en-US version of the search plugin within
the Mozilla source code: /browser/locales/en-US/searchplugins/
google.xml

Would you happen to know where I can obtain the localized google.xml
file for the other Google domains: google.de, google.co.uk, google.fr,
etc.

Any help or links you can provide is much appreciated.

Thanks,
-=Vin

That's because only that file exists. IIRC, Google requested to
Mozilla not to redirect to local pages (google.es, google.fr, etc.)
but to use always google.com. Google itself presents the localized
information to the visitor based in several data (Accept-Language HTTP
header sent by the browser, User-Agent string, IP geo-location...).

Axel can correct me if I'm wrong, though.
