Java’s Locale.getDefault returns (if not overridden) the values from the system property “user.language” and “user.region”. If these are not set, it simply returns “en”. See http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u60/jdk/file/935758609767/src/share/classes/java/util/Locale.java
For Linux: These system properties (if not overridden) are set on Linux by interpreting the environment variable “LANG”. See https://docs.oracle.com/javame/config/cdc/cdc-opt-impl/ojmeec/1.0/runtime/html/localization.htm Thus the equivalent code in Go would be to access this environment variable. Thus a simple `locale = os.Getenv("LANG")` or as Jibber-Jabber does it: ``` locale = os.Getenv("LC_ALL") if locale == "" { locale = os.Getenv("LANG") } ``` If it is correct that, as you stated, that you have no access to environment variables, you won’t be able to conclude more than “en” to be compatible with Java’s behavior. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
