With the deprecation of the loc parameter to provide the language selection in Atlassian Connect, what is the recommended approach to selecting the language to use in an add-on. Is it to get the language selection from the browser, or will Atlassian provide a way to select the language defined by the user in Confluence? While I expect it to be an edge case, I would like to provide a consistent language if the language selection defined in Confluence is different than that defined in the browser settings.

It is a big problem for our product too. Believe, there will be a rest point for it.

We need to know user locale in Table Filter and Charts app. Is there any workaround?
Also in need of a workaround here. Is it possible to get the site language setting? Unfortunately it is not returned in /rest/api/settings/systemInfo
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has found a solution/workaround?

Atlassian now provides a JavaScript API in order to retrieve the user locale:
AP.user.getLocale(function(locale){
alert(locale);
});
More information here:

I know this is not the same as a context parameter and maybe not a solution if your backend requires the locale but apparently all we can get for now.
There was some discussion on this topic in the weekly GDPR updates:
Does anyone know if there has been any updates or workaround solutions on this?? Really need the locale for backend
