1284871 - language configuration/choice for voice input

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Richard Z.]

Currently the voice input from URL bar does not allow any choice of input language, voice input from (soft)-keyboard has this feature.

Please make this configurable, is essential for anyone doing searches in multiple languages.

I think this can be done with  intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE,language);
