Re: i18n-ISSUE-492: Honor the HTTP Accept-Language header for selecting the consent language

Hi David,

We certainly understand the desire to stay out of user interface issues.
With that being said we do want to make sure that the spec does not do
anything that prevents user agents from being able to obtain consents in
other languages. Additionally, it may be worthwhile to point out that user
agents may request consents in other languages and that implementers of
this spec should be prepared to handle that. We can leave out how the
discussion related to how they actually do this, e.g., HTTP Accept-Language
setting.

Thanks,

Hi Steven

we tried very hard to stay out of user interface in the TPE specification.
In section 4, we merely say that you have to get the user’s informed
consent to do things that are otherwise proscribed. The way you get that
consent is out of scope, as is any UI.

consent in a different language.
