Is there a way to detect the current language on mobile device ?
My aim is to adapt the language of the visual novel according to the language of the device

I don't know of any. If you can find an android or iOS API that can do this, it's something I can add to Ren'Py.

In Python, I suppose ?

ios :
NSString * language = [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0];
Can we mimic this with Pyobjus ?
android :
Locale.getDefault().getDisplayLanguage()

I am trying to detect the current local with Pyobjus, but i am bit stuck.
Code: Select all
init python:
if renpy.ios:
import pyobjus
NSLocale = pyobjus.autoclass("NSLocale")
languages = NSLocale.preferredLanguages()
current_language = languages[0]
preferredLanguages should return the user's language preference order as an array of strings.
But current_language seems to be empty

Have you tried languages.objectAtIndex_(0) ?

Code: Select all
if renpy.ios:
import pyobjus
NSLocale = pyobjus.autoclass("NSLocale")
languages = NSLocale.preferredLanguages()
current_language = str(languages.objectAtIndex_(0))
I got :
Code: Select all
___main___-____NSCFString object at 0x121ac4f50

Maybe,
current_language = languages.objectAtIndex_(0).UTF8String().decode("utf-8")
will turn it into a unicode string properly.

Yes ! It's working ! Thanks you PyTom
Here is the full code to get the current language in ios
Code: Select all
if renpy.ios:
import pyobjus
NSLocale = pyobjus.autoclass("NSLocale")
languages = NSLocale.preferredLanguages()
current_language = languages.objectAtIndex_(0).UTF8String().decode("utf-8")
I will now look for android and post the result in this thread

if renpy.android:
from jnius import autoclass
Locale = autoclass('java.util.Locale')
current_language = str(Locale.getDefault().getLanguage())

Can I include this code in a future version of Ren'Py?

Bump this thread. I notice that the code for ios doesn't work anymore in the latest release.
I was wondering if you have change something that may have impacted this ?
Thanks in advance !

Found it!
It seems that iOS returns now the language and the region, ie: en-US.
Updated code:
Code: Select all
init python:
if renpy.ios:
import pyobjus
NSLocale = pyobjus.autoclass("NSLocale")
languages = NSLocale.preferredLanguages()
current_language_region = languages.objectAtIndex_(0).UTF8String().decode("utf-8")
current_language = current_language_region.split("-")
current_language[0] contains the language code and current_language[1] the region code.
