I don't know, but I don't like many statements on a single line. Probably the problem is the If-End If

Anyway, I would use a Map.

mapLang.Put("english", "EN")
mapLang.Put("portoguese", "PT")

Log(mapLang.Get(language))

the : in the if then is probably causing the second command to go outside the if/then.

put some enters after the then, the commands and add an end if and see if that works

why don't you use select language and a few case statements instead?

Probably both the answer above are wrong: why he uses Regex?

To use a Map or a Select Case, the variable Language must contain exactly the language "name".

Moreover, it is very likely that the library AHLocale can solve every problem.

I've tested your sample code and prints EN as expected. You should recheck your code, whether it is identical to the one you posted.

Hi,

Everyone's right... lang is defined as a literal string. BUT, I'm actually atributing to lang the result of a function:

B4X:

Sub GetDefaultLanguage As String
   Dim r As Reflector
   r.Target = r.RunStaticMethod("java.util.Locale", "getDefault", Null, Null)
   Return r.RunMethod("getDisplayName")
End Sub

If I define lang as string = "english" I get good results. But if I give lang the value of GetDefaultLanguage (and then put lang to lower case), I get nothing. Even if the Log() is right (gives the lang as "english..." instead of "English...")

Thoughts?

Good morning,

No, not even uppercase works DonManfred... I've managed to put it to work, by making the following (example):

B4X:

If language.CompareTo("english")>=0 Then
         code = "EN"
    End If

How about that...?

Instead of
Return r.RunMethod("getDisplayName")
why don't you use this
Return r.RunMethod("getLanguage")
you get directly the two character lower case language code!
