Getting locale information?

[Jeremy McAnally]

I'm working on a library, and it would be very nice to automatically
be able to switch out the data based on the user's locale. Is there a
way to automatically find that? Or is that something they will need
to setup?

Thanks,
Jeremy

If you're working in rails, it sounds like the globalize plugin might
be what you're looking for. It may have roots in libraries that you
could utilities in outside of rails as well, but I can't say for sure.

I didn't think of that...I'm not working in Rails, but I'll grab
globalize and pick through it and see what I can find.

Thanks

Ruby-GetText-Package supports the system locale.

Try GetText.locale or Locale.get.
