Comment (by cristianocca):
Sorry, first ticket, I guess I lost a lot of information here.
With 'obscure' I tried to say that the code is hard to understand, at
least for me it is not very obvious why it loads english as default or
discards translations if it doesn't find english translations.
About backwards compatibility, there will be a difference in what happens
if a translation for the requested language is not found, and the default
language is not 'en'. Right now if a translation string is not found in
the requested language it will fallback to the default language if it has
a value defined and if it is not found it will fallback to 'en'. The new
behaviour would not fallback to 'en' but rather to the message id, just
like the server side version does (although the server side version also
has some oddly hardcoded english to not load any fallback if the requested
language is english)
I can't tell for sure if it will fix #26319 since it is not obvious if he
is having an issue due to the english special treatment or due to
configuration issues. However with the removed english treatment I can't
see any reason of why specific english locales wouldn't be loaded.
