issue on language detection over android device

[Vikas Nawal]

Hello guys,

Navigator.language do not detect the locale of the user.However on
the
Android platform the string returned is always "en", even though my
system and browser language is set to another language.
Any help would be appreciated .

Here's what I'm using:

var lang;

// PhoneGap on Android would always return EN in navigator.*language.
// Parse userAgent instead
// Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2; de-ch; HTC Desire Build/FRF91) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1
if ( navigator && navigator.userAgent
&& (lang = navigator.userAgent.match(/android.*\W(\w\w)-(\w\w)\W/i))
) {
lang = lang[1];
}

if (!lang && navigator) {
if (navigator.language) {
lang = navigator.language;
} else if (navigator.browserLanguage) {
lang = navigator.browserLanguage;
} else if (navigator.systemLanguage) {
lang = navigator.systemLanguage;
} else if (navigator.userLanguage) {
lang = navigator.userLanguage;
}
lang = lang.substr(0, 2);
}
