> +        Nowadays, CFLocaleCopyPreferredLanguages() reports real BCP47 language codes, so we don't have to do any

Does it actually perform the normalization, or is it just that System Preferences writes BCP47 language codes in new OS versions? People who've been using macOS for a while may still have non-BCP47 preferred languages.

One way to test would be to override AppleLanguages.

This one remains true.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

As this adds differentiation especially for languages that are less frequently used, some people may now be uniquely identified with low-tech methods like looking at navigator.userAgent and navigator.language.

I'm all for improving language support, especially when removing such ugly hacks, however we may want to consult with privacy experts.

Just a comment about something that caught my eye, didn’t attempt to review the rest of the patch.

Can all of the tests use js-test.js instead of pre/post? That’s generally preferred due to simplicity.

Or just write your own small .js file in this directory to expose shouldBeEqualToString and do the dump as text stuff.

static bool should be enough.

Does this exist on all supported macOS build targets?

Note that on my macOS SDK, even though I do have the <InternationalSupport/NSLocale+InternationalSupportExtensions.h> header, it does not declare this method (minimizedLanguagesFromLanguages). My iOS SDK does have it though. Does this fix really work on macOS? Is it supposed to be iOS-only.

I guess this would just return false on macOS since it would not be able to find this method.

Your macOS SDK is probably too old.

It seems this may have made navigator.language / navigator.languages return all lowercase strings again? (see Bug 163096). Per spec, it should be "en-US" not "en-us".

I don’t know about “again,” but yes, this lowercases the strings:

CFStringLowercase(mutableLanguageCode.get(), nullptr);

I did it for consistency with the behavior before this patch. Before this patch, the strings were lower-cased, too.

Then why this?
