1156895 - Site identity popup text does not update when switching locale back to System Default

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Locale switching and selection, defect)

Description

[Michael Comella (:mcomella) [NI reported issues only: ex-Mozilla]]

STR:

In some language (I used Korean)
1) Go to https://kotaku.com - go to the page through the "This connection is untrusted!"
2) Switch browser languages (I went to system default - US English)
3) Click site identity popup

Expected: Site identity popup language is the newly selected language
Actual: Site identity popup is in the old language

Note that the tracking protection popup changes languages but perhaps this is because this popup is remade.

Usually this is because a string bundle hasn't been flushed, but coincidentally, I have an item in my todo list to file this bug: I don't think we flush the string bundle when you switch back to System Default.

Could you test to see whether you can still repro when you switch to a specific other language, rather than System Default?

Switching from Spanish -> English keeps the site identity popup in Spanish.

I repro'd on Nightly from 4/10.

In today's m-c build I see the "Secure Connection" in the site identity popup being properly translated and the translation reflected when locale changes.

But the string below it: "Verified by: %S" stays in the previous language until the page reloads.

I believe this is because the bottom string is in XUL/DTD: http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/base/content/pageinfo/pageInfo.xul#344 and we do not have a way to flush it.

The solution will come from the upcoming switch from DTD/properties to Fluent API which will react to language changes on fly.
