Question

I can get browser language using JavaScript

<script>
   navigator.language
</script>

but I need to get FULL language name and returnt to user. For example

ru - Russian
en - English
etc.

Is there any plugin or Rails gem, that can help me or should I do this on my own ?

Answer 1

You can easily create it using a simple JSON object.

function getFullLanguage(){
  var fullLanguages = {
    "ru": "Russian"
  , "en": "English"
  }
  var lang = navigator.language.substring(0,2);
  return fullLanguages[lang] || "Unknown";
}

Here’s a full list of languages.
