For our usage in Wikipedia's apps, just getting the current language code is all we use Globalization for -- navigator.language is hardcoded to English on Android, making it unusable. A more limited plugin that only fetches the locale language (and perhaps overrides navigator.language?) would do what we need and might not add much burden on other platforms, especially if they already implement navigator.language correctly. The other stuff is gravy if it's available though! -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com / bvibber @ wikimedia.org)
