Goals
- Grant user control over language selection within Fennec.
- [Accomplished in Fx32] Language selection currently controled by Android system preferences, whose availability are determined by OEMs and carriers.
- Accept-language header for customizing default language selection for delivery of web content.
- Locale breadth: ensure we can support any potential distribution deals without locales being any kind of hurdle or barrier
- Notes from what the competition supports:
- Opera Mobile supports 40 languages
- Chrome Mobile supports 31 (as of Apr 2012) and seemingly 38 (trying to find an official source of truth)
- Google Play store supports 45 localizations
- Google's default Android localization is into 52 languages.
- OEMs add languages to Android's 52 delivered languages (e.g., Samsung devices have up to 83).
Specifications
- Multi-locale build to include all new locales
- (RTL languages requires support from the Android UI for the likes of Arabic)
