os_get_region

This function returns a different value depending on the browser or device language region.

Syntax:

os_get_region()

Returns: String

Description

This function returns a string with the two or three letter Regional Code for the OS that is running the game, as set by the ISO3166-1 standard. If the information is not available, it will hold simply an empty string "".

NOTE: This is not the location regional code that is returned, but the regional language code of the OS.

Example:

switch (os_get_language())
   {
   case "zh":
      var region = os_get_region();
      if (region == "HK" || region == "MO" || region == "TW")
         {
         ini_open("chinese_traditional.ini");
         }
      else
         {
         ini_open("chinese_simplified.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 if it is Chinese, it then checks the OS region, opening a different *.ini file depending on the returned values.
