187169 - User's system language should be in User Agent

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 161337

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Norbert Rittel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021229 Chimera/0.6+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021229 Chimera/0.6+

Chimera always returns "en-US" in the User Agent string so web servers which
return pages according to this language specification will always default to US
English.
It should look at the user's International System Preferences and return the
user's preferred language instead.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Switch your system language to some other like French, German etc.
Actual Results:  
The user agent string does not change. It remains:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021229
Chimera/0.6+

Expected Results:  
I expected: "de" for German or "fr" for French, etc. or an ordered list of these
accordign to the user's preferences in System Preferences -> International.

This is a good sample where Chimera can show very tight integration with Mac OS
X. All other browsers have a separate Preference the user must set within the
browser.
But it's obvious that the order in the International System Preferences should
be used for surfing the web as well.
