Namespace locale

Retrieve information about the user's Language & Region settings, and respond to changes. Locales encapsulate linguistic, cultural, and technological conventions — things like the symbol used for a decimal separator, or the way dates and calendars are formatted.

Reading locale information

console.log("Current locale: " + hs.locale.current())
const info = hs.locale.details()
console.log("Uses metric: " + info.usesMetricSystem)
Copy

Watching for changes

hs.locale.addWatcher(() => {
   console.log("Locale settings changed: " + JSON.stringify(hs.locale.details()))
})
Copy
