New issue 20071 by bed...@technicalpursuit.com: navigator.language returns
locale code, not language code
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=20071
Chrome Version : 4.0.202.0
URLs (if applicable) :
OS version : 10.5.8
Behavior in Safari 3.x/4.x (if applicable): Correct
Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable): Correct
Behavior in Chrome for Windows: Untested
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. alert() or print the 'navigator.language' value
2.
3.
What is the expected result?
The language code to be printed: en-us or en-US (note the dash)
What happens instead?
The locale code is printed: en_US (note the underscore)
As the following documentation states, usage of the underscore ('_') is
for 'locale's, not 'language's:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPInternational/Articles/LanguageDe
signations.html
The other browsers listed above (FF 3.5, Safari 4) report 'en-us'
or 'en-US' as the value for
'navigator.language', but Chrome reports 'en_US'.
Cheers,
- Bill
