[iPhone] Language detection using navigator.language

[mobweb]

Hello all,

I'm using navigator.language to detect the language set on the device
and display my app in that language, if possible.

My app is available in 3 languages: English, German and French.

Now obviously I am looking for "en-us", "de-de" and "fr-fr", and just
fallback to English if none of these languages where detected, but I'm
wondering if in some cases it could also say "en-gb" (for GB devices),
"de-ch" (for Swiss devices) or "de-at" (for Austrian devices).

Does anyone have any further information on that topic?

Thanks,

[Thomas]

You can read on it more over here http://www.langtag.net/ <-

basically I'd recommend you to detect just the first bit and chose
language based on that, there might be many different dialects/
variations you could skip unintentionally so I guess just testing the
'root' language would be the best bet

Alright, thanks.

Here's how I got it working:

language = navigator.language.split("-");
language_root = (language[0]);

Regards
