Non-standard
This feature is not on a current W3C standards track, but it is supported on the Firefox OS platform. Although implementations may change in the future and it is not supported widely across browsers, it is suitable for use in code dedicated to Firefox OS apps.
The language.code property returns the code of the currently active language and allows to change the language by setting the value to a new code.
Syntax
var languageCode = navigator.mozL10n.language.code;
Value
Returns the code of the currently active language.
Example
navigator.mozL10n.ready(function() {
console.log('The current language is ' + navigator.mozL10n.language.code);
});
navigator.mozL10n.once(function() {
// change the current language to Traditional Chinese
navigator.mozL10n.language.code = 'zh-TW';
});
Specification
Not part of any specification.
