Phonegap iOS retrieve device language

Question

I\'m doing a Phonegap hybrid app and i have to retrieve the device language, eg: \"IT\", \"EN\". Any suggestions on this?

Answer 1

Regarding your question the answers is:

 var lang = navigator.language.split("-");
 var current_lang = (lang[0]);
 alert( "current_lang: " + current_lang );

Answer 2

There's (now) the Globalization API in Cordova to retrieve that kind of info (you can also get info for dates, currency, ...):

globalization.getPreferredLanguage
globalization.getLocaleName
globalization.dateToString
globalization.stringToDate
globalization.getDatePattern
globalization.getDateNames
globalization.isDayLightSavingsTime
globalization.getFirstDayOfWeek
globalization.numberToString
globalization.stringToNumber
globalization.getNumberPattern
globalization.getCurrencyPattern
