UKismetSystemLibrary::GetPreferredLanguages

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintCallable

Description

Returns the user's preferred languages as configured at the OS level, ordered from most to least preferred.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Reflects OS/device settings, not the language the game has actually loaded — use it to pick a localization, not to assume the current one.
• The list format and specificity (e.g. "en" vs "en-US") varies by platform, so treat entries as IETF-style tags and match loosely rather than expecting exact equality with your supported culture list.
