Is there anyway to detect OS language using javascript?
javascript, javascript-framework
Solution
There is no cross-browser way to do this. Internet Explorer supports the following:
- `navigator.browserLanguage`: browser language
- `navigator.systemLanguage`: Windows system language
- `navigator.userLanguage`: Windows user-specific language
But there is no way to access these settings from any other browsers (that I can tell) so don't use them: stick to the standard `navigator.language` (corresponding to the browser language) if you want to maintain cross-browser functionality. If you do use them you will tie your web site to a specific family of operating systems (i.e. Windows) and a specific browser (i.e. Internet Explorer). Do you really want to do this?
Why is the browser language insufficient for your application?
Problem
I need to detect OS language using javascript so I can view my page depending on the language. I know that we can detect the browser language but that is not enough for me. I need Operation System language Thanks in advance
