Question How to check the current local

Hi what is the best way to check the locale?

Im currently using:

Code (CSharp):

1. var locale = LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocale.Identidier.Code;

But this requires a string comparison and potential typos.

Is it better to use the Application.systemLanguage? With this I can compare against preset 'SystemLanguage'.

Does the localization system use the Application systemLanguage as its default unless explicitly set?

Thanks,

Adam

 

Thanks for the reply, may I ask how you would check the locale is English for example? Would I just have to check against the string "en" or if there and enum or something to compare against?

 

Hi @karl_jones
Sorry for hijacking this thread, I have a similar question

I'm using localization package for storing "app" localization, but i I also have app content (assuming in millions) that will have localization.

So I wanted to ask which value should I use from culture info so i can easily match device identifier.
For example if i save "en" for english, so how do i compare this value assuming there could be "en-us" (where it will fail)

So are you saying that Locale.Identifier will always be showing "en" rather than "en-US" or "en-uk"?

I noticed "standard" value

Code (CSharp):

1. CultureInfo.TwoLetterISOLanguageName

provides standard value , is there alternate in Locale
Thanks

 

Yes, Idea is to match backend stored (2 letter language code) with device language code and then serve backend content based on 2 letter language code.
Thanks for the link, really appreciate
