Locales and C

[Triggerhapp]

Is there a quick/simple way to get the local language of the machine that a program is running on, regardless of OS/flavour? I can imagine Ubuntu would be easy to do it on alone, but I would like to get a function in C that could find the language the user is accustomed to and use it instead.

Thanks in advance : Trigg

I am not sure whether it will work for every system.
