If I'm in France and visit Yahoo with my language set to Nederlands, I get the French version of Yahoo. I don't think Yahoo is using the locale setting to determine which site to send, they're using some other method.

If this is considered a bug then I would guess it's on Yahoo's end so would be a case of evangelism.

Closing as INVALID.

Yahoo! is not redirecting only on the language. It really depends on a combination of configuration related to both language AND location.

For example on iOS Safari French from Japan,  I stay on www.yahoo.com and receive a content in English.
On Firefox OS English from Japan, I'm redirected to sg.m.yahoo.com (which is Singapore).

I will close it as INVALID, but feel free to reopen if you think you have more information which exhibits an anomaly.
