727363 - Mac OS X specific: Change "nn-NO" Firefox to "no-NO" to keep alignment with Mac OS X system language

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Mozilla Localizations :: nn-NO / Norwegian Nynorsk, defect, P2)

Description

[Robby]

User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; MS-RTC LM 8; InfoPath.3; .NET4.0E)

Steps to reproduce:

Test an internationalized Mac OS X browser based plug-in product that supports "no-NO" on "nn-NO" Firefox.


Actual results:

Product UI displays in EN rather than "no-NO".
---------------------------------------------
The problem here is:
Mac OS X supports nb_no and no_no; and Firefox supports nb_no and nn_no.
The product language usually goes consistent with the OS language, but due to the product design(especially for a browser based plug-in product) the actual UI language could be going consistent with Firefox language.
--------------------------------------------
My suggestion is to change "nn-NO" Firefox to "no-NO" to keep alignment with Mac OS X system language.


Expected results:

Product UI should display than "no-NO".

Can't change this, because no-NO only means Norwegian, and it might cause problems if both nb-NO and nn-NO uses the same language code. Also OS X is only available in Norwegian bokmål, and not Norwegian nynorsk. So there is really no reason to change the language code of the Norwegian nynorsk version at this point.
I guess it's Apple that should change no-NO to nb-NO, and maybe add an nynorsk translation ;-)
