how to get current locale from love session

[amightydish]

Hi there,
I'm doing some cross platform development and would like to find out the language/locale settings of the current session.
I've found a few libraries about how to handle localization, once you know what language you are in.
I'm after something like

Code: Select all

locale = love.getLocale()
print(locale)
--> en

Is there functionality like that?

Thank you for any pointers!

For games, people usually forget locales and just ask the user what language they want to use, if there's support for more than one. (And that's assuming that the games are using some flavour of unicode, many japanese ones don't, for example, though those don't even ask, they just usually fail with a non-japanese locale, on windows anyway.)

But, if you're really adamant, lua has this:

Code: Select all

local locale = os.setlocale() -- empty first parameter means return the current locale.
