Ubuntu Browser doesn't present system language to websites.

 

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.

More information on this header is available here:

If someone points me to a Launchpad project, I'll happily file a bug.
