Summary
This was probably never supported.
Test results and supporting details
This is very difficult to test because it requires changing the system language settings, which I can't do in BrowserStack. And I don't have a device that I can directly test with. But I learned a few things:
languagechange
fires in contemporary macOS Safari.languagechange
does not fire in macOS Safari andonlanguagechange
doesn't appear to be real (e.g., you can assign arbitrary types to it, unlike the window equivalent).Taken together, I'm rather certain that Safari doesn't actually support this and it's spurious data from the wiki days.
