You're right, let me try to describe the scoop.
There are three actors involved:
- the user whose preferred langs are [A, B],
- the app, version v2, which is available in [B v1, C v2, D v2]
(i.e., the B language is outdated),
- the langpack service, which has the following langs for this app
available: [A v2, B v2, E v1]
The app registers the langs its bundled with. The Env queries the
langpack service to check if there are any additional languages it
could use. The final list of available langs for this app is:
[A v2, B v2, C v2, D v2, E v1]
The Env proceeds to language negotiation against user's preferred
languages [A, B].
The result is the list of supported languages:
[A v2, B v2]
…which is much better coverage than the langs the app originally
shipped with: [B v1, C v2, D v2].
