Bug 89639 – [EFL] Change format of return value of navigator.language

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit EFL

[Kihong Kwon]

window.navigator.language returns a value like en-US.UTF-8 on the EFL port.
But, all other ports and browsers returns a value like en-US.
I think it is better to change format of navigator.language like xx-XX like other ports(gtk, chromium).

I can't agree to change language locale without clear reason. If you wanna support this test, you just add navigator-language-expected.txt for EFL port.

I meant navigator-language.html has been moved to platform/qt.
Therefore we can't test this by adding only navigator-language-expected.txt.
We need to make a same test case in the platform/efl.
How do you think about this?

If there is clear reason to change locale value, I agree to land this patch. But, if not, I think we just add navigator-language.html and -expected.txt to platform/efl like qt port.

It is a problem only EFL returns locale like xx-XX.UTF8.(Some web developer could not care about this kind of locale value.), and removing '.UTF8' from locale value is already applied to the GTK.
I think this change is as simple as you can check by seeing once.
That's why I didn't add a test case.
But, if you think really need to add a test case, that's not a problem~:)

I already checked GTK port locale value. It looks this can be decided by port. If  many web developer doesn't want to use .XXX value, I agree to land this. However, you should add test case like qt port.

I'm a little confused to manipulate string in a line. I think it is good to use new string variable. See also, blackberry port.

You need to explain why you are doing this. Please also note that 'UTF-8' is not hardcoded, it just happens to be the encoding you are using on your system. A more generic description would be along the lines of "Remove the encoding from the language returned by navigator.language".

The `language' attribute of the navigator object does not seem to be part of any standard, so different browsers seem to return different values anyway. Do you know if "en-US" is currently more common than "en", for example?

Wrong line.

I object to copying this test from Qt; it was moved to platform/qt in r113892 because it apparently tested something which was relevant only to that port.

I think there is no correct answer for this now.
But there is no browser displaying encoding with language.
IMHO, It is better to remove encoding.
xx(en) : Chrome(win/mac), Opera(all).
xx-XX(en-US) : Firefox(all), Chrome(linux), safari(win).
xx-xx(en-us) : safari(mac).

Did you mean we don't need to add this test case to the EFL?

OK thanks, that's what I asked. In this case, it makes more sense to return "en-US" instead of just "en" indeed.

Yes, I don't like keeping two almost identical copies of the same test in the tree; if the test also applies to ports other than Qt, it should be moved back to fast/js with a proper explanation (and perhaps skipped in ports where it does not make sense), otherwise another, specific test should be written.

Shouldn't you be looking for '_' here?

Basically, you are absolutely right.
But, in this case, return value of navigator.language is different in each ports.
For example, chromium-win port never pass this test case because of difference of return value.
Therefore, I think it is better test case adds under platform/efl.
(I can simplify my test case but it is not much different with qt because this is very simple patch and test.(Actually I don't think this test is really needed.)
How do you think about this?

OK. It was my mistack. I will fix it.

Do we really need this find()? Can't we simply call locale.replace('_', '-'); directly?

Yes, we can. I will remove that statement~  ;-)

I still think that if Qt's test is still relevant for other ports, it's better to move it back to the main LayoutTests directory to prevent needless duplication of tests (you can talk to the people who added the tests and/or to the ones who moved it to platform/qt before that as well to confirm that this makes sense).
