The problem is the ability to show the limited locales only by default installation. If this feature is implemented, your case is also covered, e.g. OnlyShowInLang=zh_CN,en_CN or OnlyShowInLang=zh,en But the default value is designed in the system supportability and it also has the extention for each request. > > Now, if the application is simply "Dictionary", then it should detect the > desktop language when loaded and offer that language as the default choice > when loaded.
