how to detect operating system language (locale) from java code

Question

What is the correct way of knowing operating system language (locale) from java code?

I have tried

Locale.getDefault()
System.getProperties(\"user.l         


        

Answer 1

How about using the default locale?

Locale locale = Locale.getDefault();
String lang = locale.getDisplayLanguage();
String country = locale.getDisplayCountry();

This returns me my current language and country as per the Windows systeminfo command. Is this what you're looking for? (If you want the 2-character codes for language/country, you can just use getLanguage() or getCountry()).
