FakerLibrary cannot be initialized with multiple locales

[jrfigura]

Faker Library supports initialization with multiple locales: from faker import Faker fake = Faker(['it_IT', 'en_US', 'ja_JP']) for _ in range(10): print(fake.name())

Whenever I try to initialize library with multiple locales it fails with error: Error in file '/app/robot/keywords/InventoryImportKeywords.robot': Initializing test library 'FakerLibrary' with arguments [ locale=['ja_JP', 'de_DE', 'en_US'] ] failed: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'replace' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/FakerLibrary/keywords.py", line 42, in init self.fake = faker.factory.Factory.create(locale, providers) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/faker/factory.py", line 35, in create locale = locale.replace('-', '') if locale else DEFAULT_LOCALE

In factory.py file we always treat locale variable as a string with single argument and line: locale = locale.replace('-', '_') if locale else DEFAULT_LOCALE causes this issue

Would be super nice to have initialization with multiple locales implemented
