ensure that search results use the current locale
'The URL could not be found. (http://en-us.m.wikipedia.org/)' .... not so good perhaps :)

can you provide some more details on how you were able to get it to build the url with the "en-us"?
was it on initial load of a new build? which browser are you using?
on the app's initial load (if the user hasn't set a locale before) the app uses navigator.language to determine the language code to use when building out the url. in the default android browser (android 2.3.6) it is returning "en".
when the locale is changed in the settings it is using the code property of the locale which is returned in the api call from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=sitematrix&format=json

it looks like some browsers return "en-us" or 'en_US" instead of just the "en" when using the navigator.language API.
