An (in)complete list of "navigator.languages" in browsers (a.k.a IETF Language Tag or BCP47)
How to reproduce this list:
- Open Chrome's settings page (
chrome://settings/languages). - Add all language.
- Open console and enter
navigator.languagesand voila! You see the result.
But this is incomplete. Why?
I usually use Chrome in Japanese language. Before starting to make this list, I tried to run
console.log(navigator.languages)
, then I got ["ja-JP", "ja"]. After testing, I removed all languages except English and re-added Japanese. Then ja-JP never appeared again on the list.
What this tells us is that the list is a lower limit, therefore you should not reject any language tags that are not on the list.
