I was wondering if there's an easy way to discover what the system's default language is, such as an environment variable or something. $LANG is an empty string by default on my machine, so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

In Cocoa:
Code:
[[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"AppleLanguages"] objectAtIndex:0];
It returns "English" for english, and the language code (e.g., "ja" or "de") for the other languages (which is strange, but there it is).

Also, FWIW, $LANG is "en_US" on my machine.
Edit: Nevermind; I just noticed that $LANG doesn't change when the language order is changed in System Preferences.

I should have specified, this is for a Bash script. And echo $LANG on my system gives me a blank line, even though my system language is Japanese. That's weird.

Oh, hah...sorry. I've gotten used to shell scripting questions appearing in the UNIX forum. You could try calling
Code:
defaults read 'Apple Global Domain' AppleLanguages
and parsing the result. Of course, if this is mean to run on a non OS X system, that won't work so well.
