Hi Jeroen,

Thanks for following up. Unfortunately, we are still unable to honor the region (over language) for privacy reasons.

Would you mind expanding on what you mean by "because it is not in Safari (only in the tech preview)"? Are there differences in behavior between Safari and Safari Technology Preview?
