Hi,
I proposed exposing the values of the Accept-Langauge list via
window.navigation.acceptLanguages at
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27555
This email is to get opinions (for and against) on that in case the
bug is not noticed by many. As pointed out by ap in the bug, perhaps,
we have to bring this up in the WHATWG as well. Before I do that, it
may not be a bad idea to know what others her think about it.
This sounds like a reasonable extension. I prefer the variant that
gives a tokenized form of Accept-Language. I think a good next step is
to propose it on the WHATWG list or public-html, explaining the use
cases.
Besides possible translation extensions, is this something Google
Translate would possible use? It seems that a number Google web
properties pick their UI language based on the likely physical
location of your IP address(*), and many websites do likewise, so I'm
wondering if this extension is something that would actually get used
on the web.
Regards,
Maciej
