Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.0.1-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I noticed that some automatic language detection code written in JavaScript
won't work (mis-determines my language) on Iceweasel. Such script uses the
value of "navigator.language" to determine the user's language.
I'm running Iceweasel with Japanese language package (iceweasel-l10n-ja), but
"navigator.language" returns "en-US" instead of "ja".
(You can see the value of "navigator.language" by putting
javascript:alert(navigator.language); into the address-bar in Iceweasel.)
I suspected that my profile is broken. So I created a new profile for
Iceweasel, but "navigator.language" is still "en-US".
FYI, "navigator.language" returns "ja" in Firefox 3 Japanese version.
After some investigations, I see that the value of "navigator.language" is the
value of "general.useragent.locale" preference. Put "ja" to
"general.useragent.locale" preference works fine.
It would be great if the default value of "general.useragent.locale" is pulled
from the language pack currently using.
Please consider to put a following line to /etc/iceweasel/pref/iceweasel.js.
pref("general.useragent.locale", "chrome://global/locale/intl.properties");
Note: "chrome://global/locale/intl.properties" is a special value, the value
will be pulled from the language pack.
Regards,
