[jira] [Commented] (CB-14236) navigator.languages only returns a single language on iOS
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-14236?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel=16563731#comment-16563731 ] Daniel Wolf commented on CB-14236: -- There's probably some misconception on my side. I understand that on Android, Cordova uses Chrome as its webview. That is, the same code that functions as a standalone browser (Chrome) is also used as an embedded browser within Cordova. When I run Chrome as a standalone app, JavaScript code within that app that accesses `navigator.languages` gets the list of preferred languages the user configured in the Chrome settings, not the list the user configured in the Android settings. When I run Cordova on Android, it is my understanding that this JavaScript code is also executed within Chrome. But this time, code that accesses `navigator.languages` gets the list of preferred languages the user configured in the Android settings, not the list the user configured in the Chrome settings. So my question is: If the standalone Chrome browser and the embedded webview share the same code, how does that code know which languages to use? > navigator.languages only returns a single language on iOS > -- > > Key: CB-14236 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-14236 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Bug > Components: cordova-ios >Affects Versions: cordova@7.0.0, cordova-ios 4.5.0 >Reporter: Daniel Wolf >Priority: Major > > Most operating systems allow the user to specify not only a single OS locale, > but a list of prefered locales.

There's one thing I don't understand, though: Most browsers (inclusing Chrome) have their own language options, where the user can set preferred languages independently from the OS settings. Normally, reading `navigator.languages` on these browsers returns the browser settings, _not_ the OS settings. But when used as a webview within Cordova, Chrome returns the OS settings instead of the browser settings. So how do these browsers know whether to return the browser settings or the OS settings? Does Cordova tell them? > navigator.languages only returns a single language on iOS > -- > > Key: CB-14236 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-14236 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Bug > Components: cordova-ios >Affects Versions: cordova@7.0.0, cordova-ios 4.5.0 >Reporter: Daniel Wolf >Priority: Major > > Most operating systems allow the user to specify not only a single OS locale, > but a list of prefered locales.
