Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 354278

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[qique4811]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051229 Camino/1.0b2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051229 Camino/1.0b2

Text that should be displayed in english for the xbox.com website and xbox live gamercards are displayed in japanese.  

When I google xbox.com and click on the link I am automatically taken to http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/  When I enter http://www.xbox.com/en-US/ the problem with the text on both the website and gamercard is corrected back to english text.

However when I log off of my computer and log back in and open up Camino the gamercard text is once again in japanese and I have to go to the address field and type xbox.com/en-US/ to correct it again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in
2. Open Camino
3. Checked out my xbox live gamercard


Actual Results:  
Always displays the text in Japanese

Expected Results:  
should display the text in English

Note: The Xbox Live Gamercards can only be accessed if you have a xbox live gamertag that is linked to a Microsoft .Net account.  The xbox live gamercard shows you information on about the games you have played on the Xbox360.

I understand this may not be something that you can fix but I wanted to make you aware of it anyway.  This only occurs in Camino it doesn't happen in FireFox or IE.

I'll bet Microsoft is using the accept-charset header to route your request.

Have a look here for more details.

This is, as a result, INVALID, but I'll let someone else mark it.

When you visit http://gemal.dk/browserspy/accept.php what does the "Languages accepted" section report?

What happens if you go into System Prefs, International pane, Language tab, hit the Add... button, add US English, move it to the top of the list, and then launch Camino and visit the site again?

Reporter, please answer the question in comment 4 or we'll have to close this bug as WORKSFORME.

From feedback (quoted text is from Simon):

>I get JA too. Header is:
>
>en,ja;q=0.9,fr;q=0.9,de;q=0.8,es;q=0.7,it;q=0.7,nl;q=0.6,sv;q=0.5,nb;q=0 
>.5,da;q=0.4,fi;q=0.3,pt;q=0.3,zh-Hans;q=0.2,zh-Hant;q=0.1,ko;q=0.1

That makes three of us. Mine shows:

en,es;q=0.9,ja;q=0.9,fr;q=0.8,de;q=0.7,it;q=0.7,nl;q=0.6,sv;q=0.5,nb;q=0.5,da;q=0.4,fi;q=0.3,pt;q=0.3,zh-Hans;q=0.2,zh-Hant;q=0.1,ko;q=0.1

If I remove ja from the intl.accept_languages pref, I get Italian.
When I remove Italian, I get Danish.
When I remove Danish, I get Finnish, then Portuguese, then Korean.

Once all the above are removed, THEN, and only then, do I get en-us.

This really seems like a problem with M$'s site.

Pink shouldn't need to own this any more, either.

I'm sorry for not replying sooner. This little quirk happens on the Mac I use at work and lately I haven't been on that machine. I get the same thing that Comment #6 From Chris Lawson got.  I deleted ja from the language settings and it defaults to italian.  I didn't take it any further than that.

I use a Mac at home and don't run into the problem.  Do you need to know the system profile for the Mac I use at work or does that not matter?

Duping to the newer bug because things there are a bit more clear IMO (and boy was I right when that bug sounded familiar!)
