Solved Player's locale always "en_US"

Heya. I'm trying to retrieve the language of a player on the PlayerLoginEvent, although for some reason it always returns "en_US", even though I have tried german, dutch and pirate speak.

Here's the code I'm using that I got from here;

Code:java

 private static String getLanguage(Player p){
try {
Object obj = getMethod("getHandle", p.getClass()).invoke(p, (Object[]) null);
Field f = obj.getClass().getDeclaredField("locale");
f.setAccessible(true);
String language = (String) f.get(obj);
 
return language;
 
} catch (Exception e) {
return "en";
}
}
 
private static Method getMethod(String n, Class<?> c) {
for (Method m : c.getDeclaredMethods()) {
if (m.getName().equals(n))
return m;
}
return null;
}

Any help much appreciated. =)

 

PlayerLoginEvent is too soon to know what locale the player has selected. Wait a little while before trying to check it.

 

Desle As per the above advice by SpaceManiac I would try out PlayerJoinEvent - it's the one that's called when the player actually joins the server as opposed to when they login - login is often too early for most uses, it's good for things like ban management.

 

The locale field is always en_US, and does not change. You have to intercept the client settings packet (id 0x15) to get their locale, this packet is sent when a player logs in or changes their settings while on the server.

 

SpaceManiac AdamQpzm RainoBoy97 Thank you all, I now have a loop running every 10 seconds, which seems to work
