I've been using "navigator.globalization.getLocaleName()" to find out what the current locale is of the Android phone.

i know this was a topic before but i can´t find a proper solution for it.

I want to detect the language on the devices with phonegap, so i can redirect the user to the right indexLanguageX.html document.

I´ve got this code from the phonegap documentation:



function checkLanguage() {
  navigator.globalization.getPreferredLanguage(
    function (language) {alert('language: ' + language.value + '\n');},
    function () {alert('Error getting language\n');}
  );
}


This should check the preferred language and alert it, right? But it doesn´t work on my android device.. I also tried it with the phonegap alert version, doesn´t work either.

Can somebody tell me how i can get this to work?

After i get the alert, i still need to do the redirect. I thought this would work with something like:

function (language) {if (language.value=us_en) {  
   window.locaton="indexLanguageX.html"}},
