An interesting i18n issue in Netflix app for Android.

While navigating through the Netflix app today, I noticed that when the position of my device was Landscape, the title of a featured movie followed the language set up for my phone (English - United States [en_US]).

However, if the position is changed to Portrait, it is following the language defined in my Netflix user account (Brazilian Portuguese [pt_BR]).

Companies wishing to welcome this level of quality, already understand (or should) the need to aggregate the local culture, politics and available resources to their products. 

A good Localization (l10n) / Internationalization (i18n) to your software means competitive advantage, but this incorporation will affect the entire development life-cycle, including design and testing.

With that in mind, I thought it was worth while to share what I consider to be a small problem.

If you can reproduce on your device, please give me a heads up
