841758 - zh-hk on mobile sends Accept-Language: zh-cn instead of zh-tw

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[henryfhchan]

zh-hk on mobile now uses zh-tw, but the Accept-Language header is still erroneously zh-cn.

Visit http://www.wyavtv.org/test-html5-video.php and scroll down to "HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE".

On my Samsung Galaxy Note II; Android 4.2, locale customized to zh-HK loading the URL and I see:

["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"]=> string(35) "zh-tw,zh;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3"

Why does it work for me?

I'm on Galaxy W, Android 2.3.6
Locale is zh-HK as per factory setting

["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"]=> string(35) "zh-cn,zh;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3"

Why doesn't it work for me...?

Does this bug reproduce if you uninstall and re-install Firefox?

Also, can you confirm that you're reproducing with the build at https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/19.0b6/android/multi/fennec-19.0b6.multi.android-arm.apk?

The bug doesn't reproduce in fennec 19.0b6.
I checked about:config in nightly, and intl.accept_languages was set to "zh-cn, zh, en-us, en" and I am quite sure I have not tinkered with it.

I suspect that this was set during installation and was left there after the change in behavior.  Maybe Firefox should reset that pref with the landing of 839380?

Having the default pref as of intl.accept_languages as "zh-hk, zh-tw, zh, en-us, en" (vs "zh-tw, zh, en-us, en" after resetting prefs) would be an extra bonus ;)

Given that, and the fact that most Chinese speaking users will be installing Firefox for the first time, no need to take action for FF19.

I tried clean install 19.0b1 (intl.accept_languages; zh-ch,zh,en-us,en) -- I then upgraded to 19.b6 via Google Play (intl.accept_languages; zh-tw,zh,en-us,en); the switch changed for me.

Shouldn't be an issue anymore
