          Platform: Android
        OS/Version: Android
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.

Using navigator.language reports always "en" in androids browser where as
my system language is de-at and the browser UI-Language is german as well.

Looking at the attributes of the navigator object I see:
navigator.language: en
navigator.userAgent: Mozilla/5.0(Linux;U;Android
1.5;de-at;T-Mobile_G2_Touch Build/CPUCAKE) AppleWebKit/528.5+ ...
navigator.appVersion: 5.0 (Linux;U;Android 1.5; de-at; ...)

I know that navigator.language does not reflect the OS-Language but because
my browser interacts with me in german I would have expected
navigator.language to be "de"
