Is there any way to retrieve the Language of the users device?

> Is there any way to retrieve the Language of the users device?

Lack of reply to this question I've come up with the following code:

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);
}

This is for iOS since *.lproj is mentioned and this dev has previously made an iOS plugin to allow Phonegap to make a native settings/preferences.

Hi Joe?

Everything I make at the moment is for the iphone, and under each plugin there is a readme, with examples.

hmm, I just looked on github and the readme file at the root of the page is empty. I’m just working on android right now. I’ll be moving to the iPhone soon too so maybe something you got will help me aklong the way. thanks.

[André Fiedler]

great, i definitely wi take a look at it! :o)

Hm, woudn´t it be more flexible, if you write the localized strings in JavaScript (like Mootools Locale: http://goo.gl/kUajv). So it would be easier to port the application to Android, BB, WP7. ;o) Now i have to rewrite the en.lproj files for every platform. :/

Your Localizable plugin should only return the current locale identifier (en-EN or so).

why go through all of this when you have info in the useragent?

Do we have it on all platforms? iOS, Android, BB, WP7? I don´t know it. If so, it´s unnecessary. :o)

It is IOS only. And yes it could be easier to use js instead.

It returns the language the iphone/ipad is set to, and if you don't have the localizable string en the current locale, it will return in English.
