New issue 21080 by thierry.vignaud: chromium doesn't honor locale fallbacks http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=21080 Chrome Version : 4.0.207.0~svn20090903r25312dpkg -s chromium-browser> OS + version : Mandriva Linux Cooker CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): 64bit (using 32bit build) window manager :GNOME Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable): What steps will reproduce the problem? 1.c 2. 3. What is the expected result? Chromium should honor locale fallbacks. eg if the environmant variable LANGUAGE is set to "br:fr_FR:fr", it should fallback to french translation if breton doesn't exits. Likewise if we have LANGUAGE=pt_PT:pt:pt_BR, it should try both brasilian portuguese and portugal portuguese. A lot of languages have such definition. For those, chromium currently failed to display proper translations. It should split the LANGUAGE environment variable on ":" and try every value until it founds out a translation. What happens instead? It fallback to english messages (aka C locale) instead of trying defined fallback. Using gettext would solve this problem automatically... -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
