-page_name: preference-api
-title: Preferences API
----
-
-### Overview
-
-The preferences API allows you to manipulate the browser preferences, such as
-the accept languages, URLs to restore on startup etc. For the full list of
-preferences, please refer to chrome/common/pref_names.cc. (Note: since the first
-version will only implement the access of accept languages, this document will
-focus on accept languages below.)
-
-### Use cases
-
-It allows extensions to read and write the browser preferences. Given accept
-languages as an example, page translation extension and dictionary extension
-will need to get the accept languages from the browser and use them as the
-targeted languages for page or word translation.
-
-### Could this API be part of the web platform?
-
-Given accept languages as an example, read accept languages could be part of the
-web platform, it could be exposed by window.navigator.acceptLanguages while UI
-language is exposed through widow.navigator.language. But we would also like to
-be able to modify accept languages preferences as well by extension, for
-example, it'd be nice if we could "learn" the accept-languages through
-translate, such as if you decline to translate a French page, that would be a
-good signal that you want it added to the accept-languages.
-
-### Do you expect this API to be fairly stable?
-
-Yes*.*
-
-### What UI does this API expose?
-
-None*.*
-
-### How could this API be abused?
-
-Read accept languages should be OK.
-
-### Are you willing and able to develop and maintain this API?
-
-Yes*.*
-
-### Draft API spec
-
-## chrome.preferences.
-
-## void getAcceptLanguages(void callback(String acceptLanguages))
-
-## void setAcceptLanguages(Value newAcceptLanguages)
-
-## void appendAcceptLanguage(Value acceptLanguage)
-
-### Notes
-
-The first version will only implement the access of accept languages.
-
-### Issues
-
-* Where should the accept-languages API live:
- chrome.preferences.acceptLanguages? or chrome.i18n.acceptLanguages?
-* Any issues with modifying the browser's accept languages through
- extension API? \ No newline at end of file
