    Description

      Since 3.2 the DocumentReference supports specifying the Locale of the document.

      However, it seems that the platform completely ignores this feature and does not distinguish between 2 document references with different locales. Some examples:

      • store returns the same document for references with different locales
      • store returns documents with references having no locales set, even for translated document versions
      • XWikiDocument constructor does not set the document language based on the locale
      • XWikiDocument language setter ignores the reference's locale, basically creating a conflict (if Locale would be used
      • etc.

      My conclusion ATM is that this feature is unreliable and pretty much unusable. It is very likely to cause more confusion in the future if we don`t either implement it or remove it completely.
