Do we need this data for any language other than the language Firefox ships

My understanding is that web content should not be able to tell which
locale the browser is configured to use, for privacy (fingerprinting)
reasons.
I haven't heard this rule before. By default your browser language
affects the HTTP accept-lang setting, as well as things like default
font choices. You can certainly customize those back to a
non-fingerprintable setting, but I'm not convinced that we should worry
about this as a fingerprinting vector.
