os_get_language()
Returns: String
This function returns a string with the two letter Language Code
for the OS that is running the game, as set by the ISO639
standard. If the information is not available, it will hold simply
an empty string "", or "en" for "English" language. Note that some
languages also have a relevant Regional Code too, so to distinguish
between different regions of the same country use the function
os_get_region().
The following table shows some of the main two letter language
codes as defined by ISO 639:
| Language | Code |
|---|---|
| Arabic | ar |
| Chinese | zh |
| Danish | da |
| English | en |
| French | fr |
| German | de |
| Greek | el |
| Italian | it |
| Japanese | ja |
| Norwegian | no |
| Polish | pl |
| Portuguese | pt |
| Russian | ru |
| Spanish | es |
| Swedish | sv |
NOTE: This is not the location country code that is
returned, but the language code of the OS!
switch (os_get_language())
{
case "es": ini_open("spanish.ini"); break;
case "fr": ini_open("french.ini"); break;
case "it": ini_open("italian.ini"); break;
default: ini_open("english.ini"); break;
}
The above code checks the OS language and opens a different *.ini file depending on the returned value.
