We don't recognize Hebrew

[Hixie]

When you pick the Hebrew locale on Android we don't switch to Hebrew.

Android (Java really) uses the old locale code for hebrew "iw", see http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4140555

The material translations should work for both.

We should automatically convert iw to he (Hebrew), ji to yi (Yiddish), and in to id (Indonesian). They were all replaced in 1989. Not sure exactly where to put this conversion. Maybe in Locale itself? Have languageCode (and operator==) return (or use) the value with this mapping applied, and have a new property originalLanguageCode that returns the one that was provided to the constructor?

[Hixie]

The code that does this would be implementing https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1766.txt, which is why I think it belongs at that low level.

We do recognize Hebrew on Android as of #12021 however I'll leave this issue open until we've moved the fix to the Locale object itself.
