In reference to Bug Report http://redmine.emweb.be/issues/3548
It just occurred to me that WLocale could be used to retrieve the
Servers Locale using another currently unknown function (not sure what
WApplication::instance()->locale().name() would return, but my guess is
that some function should return the servers locale), which en_US would
be valid, correct me if I am wrong, WEnvironment returns the Client
Browsers locale in the function env.locale().name(), which comes from
the header, which en-US would be correct, so the function works as is,
its just the documentation that needs to reflect this, if both are true,
then the Documentation should reflect both scenarios, since this would
mean that both en-US and en_US are correct values given different
function calls.
Its seems that this is where my confusion is coming from, since I do not
know which locale we are even talking about, and assumed that
WEnvironment is the Clients Browser Locale, and that WLocale was only
used to read from the Header, which brings up the question on how I can
return the Servers Locale? Since this would be useful in setting the
language of the log messages, assuming the server admins speak the same
language.
Thanks
