Re: [orca-list] Orca and the HTML lang attribute

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi Janina.

I am addressing all the language-related items. Not just the one
mentioned in the subject. Will also do this for other apps and toolkits
-- the ones that expose language/locale anyway.

Not sure what you mean by preload a few. Regardless, once I have
something that works, I'll commit it to master so you and others can
give it a try.

Thanks!
