TBA: formatting APIs are en-US only

issue 1

see https://forum.torproject.org/t/bug-found-in-tor-browser-for-android/12540

tested using TB 13.5a6 (up-to-date according to the playstore)

my phone is en-US so IDK if the locale is even changed based on what language it decides you are when you first install. It's entirely possible that it's never changed

  • edit: note I am NOT using the setting in issue 2 below
  • en-US os and en-US as language I am okie dokie
  • change app language to fr
    • do not restart app (you are not prompted)
    • for the record: web content language changes but not locale
    • click me for pic

      Screenshot_Tor_Browser

  • close (menu > quit), restart
    • same result
  • close (menu > quit), force stop from apps settings, restart
    • same result

issue 2

There is also a follow device language option in settings which shouldn't be there which and we should be setting a language on first ever use/install like we do on desktop

issue 3 (probably)

because my phone is en-US and I can't get my locale to anything else, I cannot check the stuck state in #41930 (closed)
