 Take a Tor Browser 8.5.6 on an Android system in locale `foo` (`foo` !=
 `en-US` and `foo` is a locale we actually ship).

 If you start Tor Browser for the first (and subsequent) times on that
 system you see e.g. the connect button in locale `foo` and the onboarding
 in locale `foo`, the whole browser UI in locale `foo`, and `about:tor` in
 locale `foo`.

 Now, remove 8.5.6 and install 9.0 or 9.0.1 (I actually just tested with
 9.0.1 but remember vaguely seeing this weirdness when testing 9.0aX builds
 even though I did not put 1 and 1 together back then :( ).

 If you start Tor Browser for the first (and subsequent) times on that
 system you see e.g. the connect button in `en-US` and the onboarding in
 `en-US` and the browser UI in `en-US`. However, Torbutton related things
 like the slider and `about:tor` are still shown in locale `foo`

 This bug has the nasty consquence, I think, that the locale for the
 donation campaign is not properly detected. Instead, just the default link
 is used.
