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...
