Can I get the language from device?

You can get the devices "Language" setting by looking at the first element of the array returned by Capabilities.languages.

Unfortunately the codes returned don't seem to always match the standard naming convention for language codes.

var languageSettings:Array = Capabilities.languages;

if ( languageSettings.length > 0 )

{

    if ( (languageSettings[0]).toString().toLowerCase() == "en-gb" )

    {

        // Do something based on the language being "British English" in this case.

    }

}

I still need a way to determine if the user is using Canadian English, but the device seems to only have 2 English settings (English and British English).

There is a Canadian "Region Format" setting also under Settings->General->International->Region Format, but I'm not sure how to access that information.

If anyone knows how to access the region format, I'd love to know.

Thanks.
