Allow to get user locale not only in users/@me but in users/{user:id}

[shiz-ceo]

Why is it possible to get a user's locale only in endpoint users/@me? Bots can't interact #928 #3988 with this endpoint because for this you need to pass OAuth 2.0

But even if you do OAuth 2.0, you can only interact with the developer account.

Getting locale in endpoint users/{user:id} would be useful for bot developers to use localization (ex. i18n) for each user.

P.S. I know that the locale field can be obtained in slash commands, but what about those who still use regular text commands?

Text commands aren't supported and pretty much never have been. Your best bet is slash commands.

Probably to protect privacy, /users/@me is mainly an oauth2 endpoint which requires an access token with the identify scope to access the authorizing user's information

It's on interactions because only users can trigger them first, it's not freely harvestable

But even if you do OAuth 2.0, you can only interact with the developer account.

OAuth gives you access to data for the account of whichever user has authorized the application (it's meant for websites).
