I mean the locale, not the language. Many web sites are in a single language and target a specific culture. I want that to be respected by the browser for input type=date and other similar elements based on web site’s language, not the other way around. That’s my preference.

What your browser calls a language, is in fact a locale. You specify en_US, not English.

That would be equivalent to no setting a preferred locale or adding all the available locales.

Okay, I already have preferred languages selected: English and Turkish. If I visit a `<html lang="tr">` page I should see date inputs rendered in Turkish culture right? That's not the case unfortunately.

See it for yourself:
