How to detect user's language

rated 0 times [ 48] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 19880 / 11 Years ago, sun, september 1, 2013, 12:00:00

I'm going to detect user's keyboard language by javascript. I got a input (type of text) which should be filled with Persian characters. So, I need to alarm users change their keyboard language if their language is not Persian.

What I have found is this:

window.navigator.language;

which detects browser's language which is always En-us.

How could I solve that?

You can try like this:-

var language = window.navigator.userLanguage || window.navigator.language;

alert(language);

navigator.userLanguage works for IE

window.navigator.language works for firefox/opera/safari
