Hi list,

One of the KDE user in Taiwan reported a bug about klocale class.
When a call to KLocale::language() for zh_TW.UTF-8, KLocale::splitLocale() 
breaks the locale settings into:

language = zh
country = TW
charset = UTF-8

Then, kio_http sets the language in the http header as:

Accept-language: zh, en

However, given this value "zh", nobody can be able to understand if the user 
requested for zh-TW (Chinese Traditional) or zh-CN (Chinese Simplified), or 
even zh-SG, zh-HK, ...

Firefox is doing the right way for this issue.  It will send

Accept-language: zh-tw, en

which can easily tell the server that the user is requesting Traditional 
Chinese, not Simplified Chinese.

Right now all the KDE users in Taiwan face the same problem:  when visiting 
many websites that provide both zh_TW and zh_CN locales, they all get the 
wrong version of website (Chinese Simp.).

This problem has been reported in bugs.kde.org for about two weeks:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145407

Could anyone please have a look at this issue, and hopefully fixed in KDE4?
Thanks for your help.


Regards,
Franklin
