Xamarin -- getting user's Locale, or converting from CultureInfo.CurrentCulture to Xamarin.Essentials.Locale.

Question

I'm doing some work with TTS in Xamarin, and I'm pretty new to this platform. I'd like to select a Locale for the TTS system based on the user's language settings, but CultureInfo doesn't seem to provide any convenient way to map to a Locale. Any tips?

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

To get the user's locale, try using CultureInfo.CurrentCulture property.

   var cultureName = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name;  

Here are the related docs, you could refer to:
