Language Handling

[AldaronLau]

Currently, on Unix-like platforms for English speakers in the US, something along the lines of ["en-US", "en"] will be reported by lang(). On Windows, just ["en-US"] will be reported. How should language fallbacks be expected to be handled? It would be nice to have some kind of consistency here.

[AldaronLau]

Not sure on exact language tags, but for example, if the user prefers ["en-CN", "en-GB", "zh-CN"], then I'm assuming that if all else fails, they would prefer next (for fallback) ["en", "zh"] (requesting any dialect for English first, then any dialect of Chinese second). But, the question is whether or not whoami should append these any dialect language codes?

[AldaronLau]

I think the answer to this question depends on whether or not it's supported to select "any" dialect from the OS dialogues (needs some research).

[AldaronLau]

Upon further research it appears as though it's possible to select "any", at least on Linux. WhoAmI should not automatically insert the language without the dialect. Although, since it is a fallback list, any dialect could be appended at the end of the list:

["en-CN", "en-GB", "zh-CN"] -> ["en-CN", "en-GB", "zh-CN", "en", "zh"]
["en-CN", "en", "zh-CN"] -> ["en-CN", "en", "zh-CN", "zh"]
