This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for the proper prefixes to use in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the spec changes.
The NavigatorLanguage.languages
read-only property returns an array of DOMString
representing the user's preferred languages. The language is described using BCP 47 language tags. In the returned array they are ordered by preference with the most preferred language first.
The value of navigator.language
is the first element of the returned array.
When its value changes, as the user's preferred languages are changed, a languagechange
event is fired on the Window
object.
The Accept-Language
HTTP header in every HTTP request from the user's browser uses the same value with navigator.languages
property except for the extra qvalues
(quality values) field (e.g. en-US;q=0.8
).
Syntax
preferredLanguages = navigator.languages
Examples
navigator.language //"en-US" navigator.languages //["en-US", "zh-CN", "ja-JP"]
