Any way to get current user UI language without .NET code ?

Question

Hi all,

I need to get the current user language, but I cannot use .NET code.

So is there any way to get it via jquery/javascript/ajax/webservices or is there a way to get the value via SharePoint Designer ?

EDIT: I found a blogpost that described it, but I can't get it to work: var lcid =_spPageContextInfo.currentLanguage;

What I am trying to do is filter a list based on user language.

Answer 1

javascript:alert(_spPageContextInfo.currentLanguage)

put that into your browser address bar after your SharePoint page is loaded - you should get a message box showing you the language lcid for the site.

current language for me is 1033, which is en-US
