Question: Is there a javascript (client-side) code to get visitors country/language code, that is accurate and is cross-"modern"-browser ? I am looking for results like 'en-US', 'sv-SE', 'nl-NL', etc.
Related questions to this have been asked before (some SO links: 1,2,3,4, among others) but I didn't find answer and some of the answers are some yearls old and in some cases referring to even more old articles, which makes me think there are new solutions for this.
I tried :
var language = window.navigator.userLanguage || window.navigator.language; console.log(language); and got "sv" in Chrome and "en-GB" in Firefox, in the same machine, same place.

To get the user's locale in the browser, access the first element of the languages property on the navigator object, e.g. navigator. languages[0] . The property returns an array of strings that represent the user's preferred languages.
The Navigator language property is used for returning the browser's language version. It is a read-only property and it returns a string representing the language version of the browser. Some of the possible language codes are : en-US.
On Mac and Linux, the locale is decided by the system regardless of the user language preferences. On Windows is can be elected among the languages in the preferred list on Chrome.
Using jQuery, this line will display your user's country code.
$.getJSON('https://freegeoip.net/json/', function(result) { alert(result.country_code); }); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
