<p>Yes, exactly. In my opinion this is expected behaviour: one may not want to get the generic language translation, but a completely different language instead. In the case of German this is probably unlikely, because the language variants don't differ that much, but I guess some brazilians (pt-BR) may see this differently.</p>
