Comment:

 `general.useragent.locale` is about UI localization, browser using it to
 determine need language pack. You can't to change it to en-US and to keep
 using localized UI. kb.mozillazine.org/General.useragent.locale

 Torbutton changes `intl.accept_languages`, `intl.accept_charsets`,
 `intl.charsetmenu.browser.cache`, `javascript.default_locale` to spoof en-
 US for stuff it sending to network. Useragent spoofed for TorBrowser
 uniformly for all localizations by `general.useragent.override` pref.
