Hi,

I issued a PR to expose the user's preferred language as ENV['LANG']:
https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/pull/8751

It's based on navigator.languages which reflects HTTP Accept-Language, e.g.:
- HTTP Accept-Language: fr,fr-FR;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.5,en;q=0.3
- navigator.languages = Array(4) [ "fr", "fr-FR", "en-US", "en" ]
- ENV['LANG'] = fr.UTF-8

(Currently Emscripten uses a hard-coded 'C.UTF-8'.)

This PR allows starting your WebAssembly program directly using the
user's preferred language (rather than shoving a language choice in
their face on start-up ;)).
Provided your program is i18n'd / multi-language, of course.
For nodejs no changes.

While this environment variable is pretty standard on desktop, Alon
expressed concerned that this may be risky to start doing this now.

Hence we moved the discussion to this list :)
What do you think?

Cheers!
Beuc
