Caveats

  • If the user has "Share language with objects" disabled then this function returns an empty string.
  • During a 1-5 seconds period after which an agent is logging in, this function will return an empty string as well, until the viewer sends the data to the simulator.
  • Users may prefer to see the client interface in a language that is not their native language, and some may prefer to use objects in the native language of the creator, or dislike low-quality translations. Consider providing a manual language override when it is appropriate.
  • New language/variant values may be added later. Scripts may need to be prepared for unexpected values.
  • If the viewer is set to "System Default" the possible return may be outside the list given above. see List of ISO 639-1 codes for reference.
