Bug 76054 – [GTK] Web process should use the same locale as the UI process

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit2

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

For example, unit tests are run with C locale, because gtk_init_test() calls setlocale, but the web process is run with the system locole.

Shouldn't the WebProcess only set the locale when runned in the tests context then?

unit tests is just and example, this way we make sure locale will be the same.

That looks fine to me. I wondered the same thing as Philippe, but I realized having the same locale for all processes would be desired in any case.

I think 'than' is not correct in this case, I think 'as the' would be (notice I am not a native speaker, though)

I mean, the application using wk2 api might call setlocale(). Currently that would only affect the ui process.
