So I'm working on filling in locale support in SDL:
https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2131#c19
The idea is that you can ask SDL what the user's list of preferred
languages is (which on Haiku, eventually becomes a call to
BLocaleRoster::Default()->GetPreferredLanguages()). That part is working
here.
Optionally, SDL can send an event to alert the user that this list has
changed, so they know to requery if they care. There are ways to do this
on Windows and macOS, but there doesn't appear to be one in Haiku.
Can we have one? :) Something that apps can see when the Locale
preference panel sees a change, the same way that I presume
B_FONTS_UPDATED and B_COLORS_UPDATED work.
This isn't life or death--platforms without such an event just don't alert
apps of the system preference change--but it would be a nice enhancement
to have.
Thanks,
--ryan.
