g_get_language_names: don't include redundant languages (3.04 KB, patch)
2009-12-17 10:10 UTC, Dan Winship 		none Details | Review

Description Dan Winship 2009-12-17 10:10:26 UTC 
if you set LANG to "es_ES:es_MX", g_get_language_names() will return

    es_ES, es, es_MX, es

which, even ignoring the redundancy, is wrong, because it includes generic es before es_MX. It should output

    es_ES, es_MX, es

I made the same request in bug 161087 but it was rejected.
Comment 3 Dan Winship 2009-12-17 14:36:02 UTC 
hm... I'd say gettext's behavior is wrong. :-)

i was looking at this in the context of bug 597004 (automatic Accept-Language support in libsoup). if people don't want to change g_get_language_names() I can put the sorting there instead.
