Sure. To me the term "system language" is the system wide language that is used at startup and on the login screen, so I assume that you actually mean what I usually refer to as the "user language" which may differ between multiple users on a system.
If it's a locale name you need, check first the LC_MESSAGES environment variable, and if it's not set, use the value of the LANG variable. This works in Natty and will work in Oneiric, but might change after that. HTH - let me know if it was something else you were after. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/820333 Title: Regional Formats To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/820333/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
