[WebDev] Detect browser language

Hello,

I have a multilingual application and I would like to detect the language of the user's browser to display the first page in that language. (Then the user can select the language they prefer)

Could someone tell me how to detect that browser language?

Hello, in theory when you select the project option "automatically select the system language when starting the application" the page loaded is in user system language. Look at [help.windev.com]

Thanks Ruben.
Yes, I have the default language of the Project. In my case Spanish. On the first page of the application the user can change the language of his preference. This runs ok.

What I want is that applicattion detects the browser language and present the first page with the same language of browser. This way the user do not need to change to other language.

Best Regards,

Victor

Hi Victor,

In Javascript navigator.language will return the browser language.
So you can make a function:

function get_language() {
return navigator.language;
}

See https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_nav_language.asp

Kind regards,
Piet

Thank you Piet,
I did that with a similar función:

function idiomanavegador()
{	
	var ln = window.navigator.language||navigator.browserLanguage;	
	return ln
}

Best Regards

Victor
