There was a problem hiding this comment.
'' is falsey, and it causes the two functions to infinitely call each other

Description
locale and kGuessLocale can enter an infinite loop
Details
There's regex logic that turns '.UTF-8' into '', and downstream there is logic checking if that value is falsey (instead of undefined).
As a result, kGuessLocale and locale call each other infinitely.
Todo
This line is what converts
'.UTF-8'into''. I don't know if my fix is sufficient or if the real problem is here.
