So I didn't even realize that config.i18n.defaultLocale
existed. Is there any documentation for it? I'm interested in standardizing these configs in Nixpkgs (#39580). In some ways it overlaps with the NixOS module system.
This seems to be because the firefox package does not come with any language packs.

Issue description
The problem is that NixOS configuration
i18n.defaultLocale
is not being transfered to Nixpkgs config. Therefore installingfirefox-bin
package as part of the default set of packages would selecten_US
instead of the one corresponding to the default locale.Steps to reproduce
Add NixOS option
i18n.defaultLocale
to"fr_FR.UTF-8"
. Addpkgs.firefox-bin
as part of theenvironment.systemPackages
. $ nixos-rebuild switch $ firefox --> Firefox should be in French.Technical details
We should probably add something like the following and ensure that the defaultLocale is processed properly as part of the minimal set of packages needed to evaluate the
pkgs
argument.
