1349377 - Consider exposing locale ID parsing code in LocaleService

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Zibi Braniecki [:zbraniecki][:gandalf]]

We have an internal class Locale in LocaleService that allows us to chunkify locale/language ID into components.

There's client side code in Firefox that tries to, for example, just take the language part and verify if it's "ja".

We could either expose the Locale, or we could expose some function like:


let locale = LocaleService::ParseLocaleID("en-Latn-US");
locale.language = "en";
locale.script = "Latn";
locale.region = "US";
locale.variant = undefined;

Not a high priority, but would be nice to tackle when we have time.

Bug 1428698 implements that for C++ code, bug 1433303 will do the same for JS.

Intl.Locale is now exposed!
