Return the language of the running archicad

[Emkave]

Good day everyone!
I have a problem with returning the language value of running Archicad.
I want to do something related to localization and stuff but for that I want to know firstly what language is used by the user.

Do you know any way of returning the language of an active Archicad session? I guess the methods may differ for pre 27, 27 and beyond versions, right?

Thanks in advance!

Operating system used: Windows 10

Try ACAPI_AddOnIdentification_Application()

API_ServerApplicationInfo AppInfo;
GS::UniString language = "";
err = ACAPI_AddOnIdentification_Application (&AppInfo);
if (err == NoError){
    language = AppInfo.language;
}

Hi, thank you for the solution.
However, the issue is - when I tried this on my device, it returned me INT value (international -> English, I assume).
I wonder what is the list of language tags existing there in archicad. Do you know where I can find that list?

Also, do you know how would that be written for versions older than 27? Like for 26?

List of value

In AC26 and older:

API_ServerApplicationInfo AppInfo;
GS::UniString language = "";
err = ACAPI_Environment (APIEnv_ApplicationID, &AppInfo);
if (err == NoError){
    language = AppInfo.language;
}
