[jira] [Updated] (CB-1405) navigator.language

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1405?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jonathan Bond-Caron updated CB-1405:
------------------------------------

    Description: 
When switching language in 'settings / language & input', from en-US -> fr-FR:

console.log(navigator.language);
console.log(navigator.userAgent);

09-09 09:51:31.923: I/Web Console(11225): Navigator:en-US at file:///android_asset/www/index.html:83
09-09 09:51:31.923: I/Web Console(11225): User Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.3; en-us; Build/ICS.f04ref.20120204) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30 at file:///android_asset/www/index.html:84

The language doesn't appear has having changed in the webView.

This is a known android bug:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4641

But the fix is oddly simple:
appView.getSettings().getUserAgentString();
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");

See the code here:
