Get the browser language in javascript

[hilty]

Hi guys,

 

There's one way to get the browser language in javascript?

 

I tried navigator.language but I read in Google that it is not reliable.

I read that the best is use the info in 'Accept-Language' header,

but I only can access it using a server side language.

 

Anyone here knows another way?

Phaser can do it? If yes, how?

 

Cheers,

It's not possible, not accurately or reliably anyway, without using something server side.

Thanks Rich.

It is not really accurate but you can rely on the Accept-Language browser header.

 

Maybe you should read documentation about content negociation.

There is a good JS library for that: https://github.com/garycourt/negotiate-js

Although this isn't entirely accurate, I've used (navigator.userLanguage || navigator.language) to set a default language for my games, that players can then change

I do the same (except that I don't leave a choice ) and it has worked so far.
