Hi, I'm using Mozilla Firefox in Taqbaylit or Kabyle language and noticed after using AmIunque that the mentionned language is georgian "ka" instead of "kab". The details of the headers are OK on the Details tab. I'll do more tests later on. Best regards,

Hi, AmIUnique collects the list of languages through the HTTP Protocol, so collected languages are the preferred language for displaying pages, you can see them in Firefox in Menu->Options->Language and Appearance (Section)->Language->click Choose... If your Mozilla Firefox is in Taqbaylit (Kabyle) language, it means FireFox will be displayed in that language, so AmIUnique doesn't collect it. Best regards.

It seems there is a gross misunderstanding of the bug report. The browser of the original reporter was set up to use kabyle, whose code is 'kab'. AmiUnique, wrongly, truncates it to two characters, leaving" ka", which is a completely different language. This is this truncation, the problem!

Hi BoFFire, thanks for reporting this to us. We've identified the source of the problem and we'll try to fix it next month when we roll out a major update of the whole website.
