Comment (by gk):

 `bug_30069` (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-
 browser.git/commit/?h=bug_30069&id=7e0bbadea033996f24cd8a33a3b9bf34e0beb317)
 in my tor-browser repo has the additional fix so that everything is
 localized now according to the system default locale on start-up (assuming
 it matches one of the locales we ship).

 The key idea here was to check Mozilla's en-US .apk (they ship that in
 addition to a -multi one) and realizing that that one shows similar
 symptoms to our bundle. Decompiling both .apks and diffing the result
 showed the preference being set in the -multi .apk but not in the other.

 While I see why we don't set that preference (we don't run the installer)
 I am not sure why large parts of the UI are in fact properly localized
 without it being set.
