I'll read up on the other thread, and I still think the approach is wrong here, sorry. But yes, getting the selected locale for the global package is what I try to keep working at cost, notably on Android, where we're already doing stunts to do that.

You'll have to explain that more fully I think. This is the current approach. However the current approach leads to all kinds of bugs because localization teams don't have expertise in this area. So we improve the status quo by reducing this source of bugs (that are still there and deployed to users). This is also the approach other browsers take. There might be a better approach (we'll have to research that, can't do it based on gut), but until that is there improving the status quo is a very good thing for our users. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/ ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
