Question

The language detection does not seem to be easy on Android. I have not personally tested it yet but apparently, “navigator.language” always returns “en”. iOS and Android can both return the current device language. Is there a Forge method to do that native/js bridge for us ?

Answer 1

here is the code I used to achieve this.

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 );
}
