New issue 24438 by [email protected]: Set the ICU default locale to ll_RR even if Chrome supports only ll http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=24438 This will be more prominent on Linux than on Windows. Let's say Chrome is launched with LANGUAGE=ar_EG chrome Currently, we map ar_EG to Chrome's locale ar, which is perfectly fine because we just have 'ar' (rather than many regional variants in Chrome). However, in the process, we set the ICU locale to ar as well even though ICU does have ar_EG distinct from ar. In practice, in most cases, it's immaterial. However, in some cases, it does make a difference (e.g. thousand separator in some Spanish-speaking Latin American countries is ',' while in other countries it's '.' or ' '). So, es_FOO and es_BAR have to be used when setting the ICU default locale while both being mapped to es-419 (Chrome's UI language). -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
