Hello, how can I recognize the current language with locale.getlocale()?
When i try it on android, it only returns ('en_US', 'UTF-8'), even if default language was set to an other language.
I don't think Android sets any of the standard LC_... environment variables, probably because it supports changing the locale within the lifetime of a single process. Instead, it provides an Android-specific API:
context.getResources().getConfiguration().getLocales().get(0)
This will return a string in the form en_US, which can be passed to locale.setlocale.
The difficult part is getting a reference to the context object. For details, see #90371 (comment).
