Magento2: Braintree PayPal locale should have it's own setting

[tomasinchoo]

Preconditions

Any version of Magento 2

Steps to reproduce

1. Create (for example) website with en_IE locale.
2. Configure Braintree sandbox.
3. Try to buy something

Expected result

1. One should be able to use PayPal via Braintree payment method

Actual result

1. JavaScript error in console: "Error: This PayPal integration does not support this country"

Issue is trivial:
Magento reads locale from config and when locale is not supported, it throws error.
Issue wouldn't happen in case there is configuration field where you can explicitly configure one of
supported locales for Braintree.

This is actually BUG, not feature request ;)

Hello, @tomasinchoo,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have created the internal ticket MAGETWO-69340 to address this issue.

Please note, we are not able to implement the separate configuration for Braintree, as we need the locale to remain consistent across the entire Magento instance. The appropriate mapping will be added for Braintree, so any not supported locales will be replaced with the suggested by Braintree default locale.

Any ideas how to solve this until the official bugfix is released ?

Thank you.

Hi @alena-marchenko
The issue is acknowledged for both 2.1.x and 2.0.x branches.
Please, please don't close the issue until the fix is backported to both of them and released officially.

Reminds me of this old child's game: you cover your eyes with your hands, you don't see the monster, and so you say it doesn't exist.
That trick only works when the monster was imaginary in the first place.
