cPanel API 2 Functions - Locale::get_locale_name

Description

This function displays a locale's name in the user's language.

Warning:

We strongly recommend that you use the following UAPI function instead of this function:

  • Locale::get_attributes — This function retrieves information about the user's current locale setting.

Examples 


 WHM API (JSON)

https://hostname.example.com:2087/cpsess##########/json-api/cpanel?cpanel_jsonapi_user=user&cpanel_jsonapi_apiversion=2&cpanel_jsonapi_module=Locale&cpanel_jsonapi_func=get_locale_name&locale=French

 LiveAPI PHP Class

$cpanel new CPANEL(); // Connect to cPanel - only do this once.
  
// Display locale for "user."
$get_locale $cpanel->api2(
    'Locale''get_locale_name'
     
);

 LiveAPI Perl Module

my $cpliveapi = Cpanel::LiveAPI->new(); # Connect to cPanel - only do this once.
  
# Display locale for "user."
my $get_locale $cpliveapi->api2(
    'Locale''get_locale_name',
 
  );

 cPanel Tag System (deprecated)

Warning:

In cPanel & WHM version 11.30 and later, cPanel tags are deprecated. We strongly recommend that you only use the LiveAPI system to call the cPanel APIs.

cPanel API 2 calls that use cPanel tags vary widely in code syntax and in their output. For more information, read our Deprecated cPanel Tag Usage documentation. Examples are only present in order to help developers move from the old cPanel tag system to our LiveAPI.

 

 Command Line

cpapi2 --user=username Locale get_local_name locale=French

 

Notes:

  • You must URI-encode values.
  • username represents your account-level username.
