Could you please tell me how to detect current local language ID with Shell script?


set foo to do shell script "defaults read 'Apple Global Domain' 'AppleLocale'"
--> "en_GB"


or AS:

 	set foo to user locale of (get system info)
--> "en_GB"


Using defaults also allows you to get the list of available languages:

defaults read 'Apple Global Domain' 'AppleLanguages'
--> (en, ja, fr, de, es, it, nl, pt, sv, nb, da, fi, "zh-Hans", "zh- Hant", ko)
