Spanish users of the Android app see prices in dollars ("Media: 2.140 $/L") until they pick EUR by hand. Desktop Chrome set to Spanish with English as a second language has the same problem.

The cause: detectBrowserCurrency walks navigator.languages and returns the first region it finds in REGION_TO_CURRENCY. Euro countries are not in that map, so es-ES is skipped. Android's WebView always appends en-US, so the phone reports ["es-ES", "en-US"] and the loop lands on USD. We read this from a real WebView on an es-ES-only Android 15 emulator.

The fix:

  • The first language that names a region decides. It gets that region's currency, or EUR when the region is not in the map. Later languages never override it.
  • The region is read with Intl.Locale, so zh-Hant-TW gives TWD instead of looking up "HANT".
  • A stored choice (pumperly-currency in localStorage) still wins, as before.

Tests: new currencyForLanguages cases. The full suite has 896 tests, all passing, and tsc and eslint are clean (run on the MacMini). Red control: with the old loop grafted under the same export, 2 of the new tests fail ("keeps EUR for a Spanish list that ends in en-US", "reads the region after a script subtag").

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Browser currency selection now uses the first language in your browser settings that includes a region. Recognized regions select their mapped currency; unrecognized regions and language lists without a region fall back to EUR.
    • Currency detection on the server continues to default to EUR.

Android's WebView appends en-US to navigator.languages, so a Spanish phone
reports ["es-ES", "en-US"]. ES is not in the region map, the loop skipped
it and picked USD from en-US. The first language with a region now decides,
and the region is read with Intl.Locale so script subtags work too.

📝 Walkthrough

Browser currency detection now parses locale regions with Intl.Locale. The first language with a region determines the currency; an unmapped region or no region produces EUR. The change also exports currencyForLanguages and adds tests for locale selection and fallback cases.

Changes: Currency detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Locale-based currency selection
src/lib/currency.tsx, src/lib/currency.test.ts
regionOf extracts locale regions, and currencyForLanguages selects a currency using the first language with a region. detectBrowserCurrency delegates to the helper. Tests cover region parsing, mapped and unmapped regions, and EUR fallbacks.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 82048

Currency selection appears ready to merge, but a browser-entrypoint test would better protect against recurrence of the Spanish-language pricing issue.

Explanation

The title clearly describes the main change: preventing Spanish users from receiving USD by default. The Android reference matches the reported issue, although the implementation also covers browser locale detection more broadly.

Test CurrencyProvider through the browser entrypoint.

The added tests call currencyForLanguages directly. They do not set navigator.languages or initialize CurrencyProvider, which calls detectBrowserCurrency. A regression that passes the wrong navigator value to currencyForLanguages can pass these tests while selecting USD for a Spanish-first browser list. Add an entrypoint test with no stored currency and navigator.languages = ["es-ES", "en-US"], then assert that the provider initializes to EUR.

Skipping the provider-level test: detectBrowserCurrency only passes navigator.languages ?? [navigator.language] through, so the rule worth pinning is in currencyForLanguages, and the red control shows these tests catch the old loop.
