[Bug 1464159] [NEW] Ubuntu Browser doesn't present system language to websites.

 

Public bug reported:

I created a webapp for the secure email service Tutanota.  One nice
feature is that it is localized in several different lanaguages and it
automatically presents its interface in the user's preferred language.

Unfortunately, the Ubuntu browser does not present the Accept-Language
header and Tutanota does not offer language as a settings option.

I think it would be optimal if the browser uses the system language as
the Accept-Language header (and would be awesome if it used the active
keyboard layout options to create a list of additional languages), and
of course even better if the browser settings page also allowed
customization as well.
