in-browser-language
v1.0.3 browser language detection
in-browser-language
This module is designed to be used with browserify or other CJS bundlers.
npm i in-browser-language --save
How it works
The module checks for (in order) :
window.navigator.languages
window.navigator.language
window.clientInformation.userLanguage
window.clientInformation.browserLanguage
window.clientInformation.systemLanguage
Some systems / browser may actually return the language of the OS instead of the language of the browser.
There is no way around this issue but it can be mitigated by allowing the user to change its language.
Methods
list()
Return an array containing the languages.
first()
Return the first language of the list.
pick(proposedLanguages, defaultLanguage)
Pick the first language found both in the proposedLanguages
array and the list of languages supported by the browser.
If there are no matches, the defaultLanguage is returned.
var browserLanguage = require('in-browser-language');
console.log(browserLanguage.list());
// returns ['fr', 'en']
console.log(browserLanguage.first());
// returns 'fr'
console.log(browserLanguage.pick(['pl', 'ja', 'en', 'fr']));
// returns 'fr' as 'fr' is the first declared by the browser
console.log(browserLanguage.pick(['pl', 'ja'], 'pl'));
// returns 'pl' as there are no matches
console.log(browserLanguage.pick(['pl', 'ja']));
// returns null as there are no matches and no defaultLanguage
